8.  The defendant’s counsel cited a total of 38 cases in this application.  As stated in Practice Direction 2.1 §3(e), the skeleton submissions “should direct at helping the Court to determine whether grounds have been made out for the appeal to be heard by the Court of Final Appeal”.  It is unhelpful to load the submissions with copious authorities making more or less the same point in a number of instances.

Written submissions by Barristers Mr Chua Guan Hock SC and Mr Kerby Lau, instructed by K B Chau & Co Solicitors, for the Defendant (Applicant)

Milton Lai Fabricated Evidence in Court - Said DDJ George Lam - LAI KO CHOY v LAI KIN (黎健) & KWONG LAI SIM (鄺麗嬋)

Milton Lai Fabricated Evidence in Court - Said DDJ George Lam  DCCJ 1917/2018 [2021] HKDC 378 LAI KO CHOY v LAI KIN (黎健) & KWONG LAI SIM (鄺麗嬋) 90. I find that Milton Lai was fabricating his evidence in court. It seems to me that Milton Lai was trying to salvage the weakness in the plaintiff’s case where the plaintiff cared nothing about the mortgage. I reject Milton Lai’s evidence entirely in relation to the purchase of the Property or any discussion about the mortgage. I did not believe a financial consultant could have advised his father when acquiring a property without any of the above-mentioned essential information. https://unreasonablelitigants.blogspot.com/2021/04/milton-lai-fabricated-evidence-in-court-said-ddj-george-lam.html
