He v Yeung

The appeal concerned a dispute between He and Yeung. The ultimate challenge, if successful, would have resulted in an adjustment of less than $100,000. Consequently, the matter was treated by the Court of Appeal as an application for leave to appeal.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant leave to appeal. This required the Court to consider whether the proposed appeal raised a matter of principle or public importance, or whether there was any prospect of success in the proposed appeal.

The Court determined that the appeal did not raise any matter of principle or public importance, nor did it consider there to be any prospect of success in the proposed appeal. Accordingly, leave to appeal was refused. The applicant was ordered to pay the respondent’s costs.
