D E C I S I O N

--------------------

1.This is an application by the defendant for leave to appeal against the decision of this court dated 20 August 2013 (“Decision”) whereby his appeal against two decisions of Master M Wong was dismissed.

2.I am simply unable to see any merits in this application. Indeed, the “important questions on points of law” set out in the defendant’s summons dated 26 August 2013 are very difficult to understand.

3.Further, I do not begin to see any reason why this appeal should be heard in the interest of justice.

4.The defendant appears to be preoccupied with obtaining the transcript of the hearing of his appeal before this court. The sole reason advanced by him for obtaining the transcript is that in the course of the hearing it was mentioned by this court that he had been convicted. The defendant submits that he has not been convicted of any crime. Instead, he was committed to prison for contempt of court. Whilst I am unable to see how the transcript may assist the defendant’s case in any way, I have decided to release the same to the defendant subject to his undertakings that he shall bear the costs involved and on the use of the transcript.

5.For these reasons, this application is dismissed with costs to the plaintiff which are summarily assessed at HK$17,042.
