Mr Justice Bokhary PJ :

Clearly the claim is unliquidated. No point of law of any controversy or difficulty arises. The Court of Appeal’s decision is correct. No argument to the contrary is reasonable. So, despite the ability with which Ms Eu urged the application for leave, leave is refused.

Ms Audrey Eu SC and Mr Kenny Lin (instructed by Messrs Simon Ho & Co.) for the applicant

Mr Robert McLeish (instructed by Messrs DLA Piper Hong Kong) for the respondent
