Loke Mun Yee,Teresa v. Loke Ka Ming, Stephen and Another

HCA 89/2014

IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE

HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION

COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE

ACTION NO 89 OF 2014

____________

_____________

D E C I S I O N

_____________

1.This appears to me to be a satellite litigation arising out of the dispute between the parties concerning administration of their mother’s estate in HCMP 534/2013. That piece of litigation should be the main dispute between the parties and their efforts, costs and time should be concentrated on that case.

2.In respect of today’s application for an injunction the defendants have filed, at the very first opportunity, on 23 January, a statement giving an undertaking which with some minor adjustments, are acceptable to the plaintiff.  These undertakings ought, in my view, be sufficient to provide temporary protection to the plaintiff until the next return date.

3.Accordingly, upon the defendants’ undertaking jointly and severally by themselves, their agents or servants:

(1) not to visit the plaintiff’s residence at Flat 4A, The Brentwood, 11 Repulse Road, Hong Kong ; and

(2) not to contact the plaintiff, her servants or agents without going through the parties’ solicitors,

the summons is adjourned to 8 May 2014 at 9.30 am before me with 30 minutes reserved.  Parties are to personally attend.

4.Costs are reserved.  There be liberty to apply.

Mr Billy N P Ma, instructed by Norman M K Yeung & Co, for the plaintiff

Mr Walter Lau, instructed by Cheung & Liu, for the 1^st and 2^nd defendants
