Wang Boheng v. 于卡弗

HCA 193/2025

IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE

HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION

COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE

ACTION NO. 193 OF 2025

D E C I S I O N

_______________

1.This Court handed down the Decision on 10 December 2025. Paragraph 12 of the Decision stated that “the Plaintiff’s address does not appear on the writ in this case and is in breach of Order 6, rule 5(a).”

2.Before the order was sealed, Deacons, acting on behalf of the Plaintiff, informed the Court that paragraph 12 of the Decision contained an error, in that the Plaintiff’s address was provided on page 2 of the writ.  It transpired that page 2 of the writ was not included in the hearing bundle which led to the error.

3.The parties agreed that this Court should vary the Decision accordingly.  I am satisfied that I have the jurisdiction to do so before sealing of an order, to avoid an injustice from arising.

4.In the premises, paragraph 12 of the Decision, the order in the second part of paragraph 13 requiring the Plaintiff to provide his address, and the costs order nisi requiring the Defendant to bear 90% of the costs are revoked.

5.Instead, with regard to the whole of the Defendant’s summons dated 1 December 2025, I dismiss the entire Summons.  Costs should follow the event and the Defendant should bear the Plaintiff’s costs for both Summonses, summarily assessed at $70,000. This will be an order absolute on costs.
