Hong and Cao (No. 2)

In *Hong and Cao (No. 2)*, Hogan J considered an application by Mr Hong for leave to re-open an earlier application seeking a stay of proceedings commenced by Ms Cao.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether Mr Hong should be granted leave to re-open his application for a stay. The court also addressed the question of costs arising from Mr Hong's application filed on 14 November 2017, reserving determination of this issue.

Hogan J granted Mr Hong leave to re-open his application for a stay. The court then set out a detailed timetable and procedure for the parties to make submissions and file evidence concerning the costs of Mr Hong's application, indicating that these costs would be considered in Chambers.
