RE WONG KUI SHING DANNY

RE WONG KUI SHING DANNY

The Debtor did not adduce sufficiently precise or contemporaneous evidence to establish a bona fide dispute on substantial grounds; the written loan agreements and repayment history establish the Debt and non‑compliance with the statutory demand, so a bankruptcy order was properly made under s.6A(1)(a).

Procedural Posture

Bankruptcy Petition / Hearing and Judgment (bankruptcy Order Made)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Debtor failed to comply with a statutory demand and is therefore deemed unable to pay his debts under s.6A(1)(a) of the Bankruptcy Ordinance
  2. 2 Whether the Debtor has established a bona fide dispute on substantial grounds to defeat the statutory demand
  3. 3 Whether allegations of unconscionability, promissory estoppel, waiver or that a third party was the 'true borrower' discharge the Debt or create a bona fide dispute

Ratio Decidendi

The Debtor did not adduce sufficiently precise or contemporaneous evidence to establish a bona fide dispute on substantial grounds; the written loan agreements and repayment history establish the Debt and non‑compliance with the statutory demand, so a bankruptcy order was properly made under s.6A(1)(a).
