Cheung said he was ill just before the Monday hearing. But Chan said no medical proof had ever been produced to support the claim.
The former Yuen Long district council member has been sued by several acquaintances over unpaid debts, ranging from HK$10,000 to more than HK$100,000.
Two people have previously obtained judgment against Cheung in the Small Claims Tribunal over a total debt of HK$45,000.
