Mr Ping He alleges Mr Tang Le/Lee sublet the apartment to Mostafa Elsayed Morshedy Elsayed Faraag, Gomaa Rashed Ahmed Arafa and Hussein Mohamed Hussein Mahmoud, who work as painters and decorators.
Barrister David O’Brien, instructed by RNL solicitors for the plaintiffs, said while there was consent to Mr Tang Le/Lee being joined, his clients did have concerns over certain matters that arose out of the exchange of documents between his clients and Mr Ping He. Counsel agreed with Mr Justice O’Moore that it would be unusual for a party to be cross-examined before the full hearing of a trial.
It is claimed the group threatened to come back if the Egyptians did not leave. They claim they entered into a tenancy arrangement for the apartment in October 2021.Arising out of their rental agreement, they claim they were entitled to 30 days’ notice of the termination of that arrangement, but no such notice was given.
