HKSAR v. So Hoi Chuen

Read the full judgment text of HCMA 398/2006 on BabelCite. This High Court CFI judgment was delivered on 16 November 2006.

1. Having heard counsel on both sides, it is my view that the phase “nexus of common interest” is not any term of art nor any legal phrase or legal concept which requires a legal interpretation.  In relation to the point of what amounts to “acceptance” and when a court should or could draw an irresistible inference, my view is this is a matter of fact and not one of law.

1.Having heard counsel on both sides, it is my view that the phase “nexus of common interest” is not any term of art nor any legal phrase or legal concept which requires a legal interpretation.  In relation to the point of what amounts to “acceptance” and when a court should or could draw an irresistible inference, my view is this is a matter of fact and not one of law.

2.I therefore decline to certify that a point of law of great and general importance is involved in my judgment delivered on 10 October 2006.
