Solicitors

Peconic Industrial Development Ltd v Lau Kwok Fai & Ors

(27 February 2009): A piece of Mai Po land was bought for HK$151 million (USD20 million) and, more or less contemporaneously, sold to the bank for HK$515 million (USD66 million).

Super Strategy Investments Limited v Kao, Lee & Yip

(6 January 2009): Under Section 56(3) of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance, a fee agreement must be in writing and no such agreement existed between the defendant and the owners.

REM Assets Limited v MIR Investments Limited

(5 January 2009): "The excuse has been proffered that the plaintiff's solicitors were acting for other people who have other claims. That is totally irrelevant as far as this case is concerned. If the solicitors have too much work they should not have taken on that much work."

Esther Cunningham

"I realise I should not have attended court as my behaviour was likely to be somewhat robust."
