Phase 1: Commencement & The Service Trap
Order 11 (Service Out of Jurisdiction): The ultimate examiner bait-and-switch. He tipped this for May, but it never appeared. Expect a foreign defendant (e.g., a Singaporean company) breaching a contract, requiring you to identify the correct O.11 r.1(1) gateway.
Order 65, r. 4 (Substituted Service): If he pivots to a domestic defendant who is simply hiding to evade service, you must apply ex parte and explicitly state your duty of "full and frank disclosure."
Order 3, r. 2 (Time Calculation): The mandatory math. You will have to calculate a strict deadline, such as the 14-day Acknowledgment of Service (AOS).
Phase 2: Bypassing Trial (The Early Dispositions)
Order 14 (Summary Judgment): This is the largest remaining gap in the syllabus. Since Admissions (O.13A) was explicitly excluded, this is your primary weapon when a defendant files an AOS but has a "shadowy defence" lacking a genuine triable issue.
Order 13 & 19 (Default Judgment): The trap the May cohort fell into. Be ready to deploy this administrative victory if the defendant completely ignores the writ and misses their deadlines.
Phase 3: The Interlocutory "Nuclear" Options
Anton Piller / Search Order (Order 29): Since the May paper tested the Mareva injunction (asset freezing), the resit will pivot to evidence preservation. Memorize the 4 Overholt factors to stop a defendant from shredding documents.
Prohibition Order: The alternative weapon to physically stop a judgment debtor from fleeing Chek Lap Kok airport.
Phase 4: Tactical Warfare & Court Philosophy
Order 22 (Sanctioned Offers & Payments): May tested basic "costs follow the event." Resits test punitive financial warfare. Expect a scenario where an opponent unreasonably rejects a settlement, forcing you to calculate indemnity costs and enhanced interest (up to 10% above the judgment rate).
Order 23 (Security for Costs): The natural companion to an Order 11 scenario. Use this to force a foreign plaintiff to pay money into the Hong Kong court before they can proceed.
Order 1A (Underlying Objectives): The mandatory DoJ justification. You must weave "cost-effectiveness" and "expeditious resolution" into every piece of advice to secure discretionary marks.
Phase 5: Show Me The Money (Post-Judgment Enforcement)
Order 48 (Oral Examination): The first step in the end-game. Dragging a "broke" judgment debtor into court under oath to reveal their hidden bank accounts.
Order 49 (Garnishee) / Order 50 (Charging Orders): The anchor of the resit. Alvin explicitly withheld O.49 from the May exam. Once O.48 reveals the assets, you will use these orders to seize the bank funds or put a charge on their real estate.
Order 81 (Partnership Enforcement Trap): The ultimate cross-over question. Remember that a judgment against a firm cannot render liable a partner who was out of the jurisdiction when the writ was issued, unless they were served with leave under Order 11.
