Summary

Wong Sau Wing sought default judgment against Tsoz Chung Kai for wrongful repudiation of a property sale and purchase agreement, claiming the deposit of HK$295,000. The court dismissed the summons because the defendant had filed a defence (albeit out of time), and under Order 19 rule 7, the filing of a defence — even without retrospective leave — precluded default judgment.
