TIONG KING SING v. SAM BOON PENG YEE AND ANOTHER

The summonses were dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate a significant and material change in circumstances or a clear real risk of dissipation of assets since prior applications; adequate interim protection existed in the cross‑undertakings; receivership was disproportionate and likely to prejudice the going concern; some evidence was inadmissible or unreliable; and the applicant had not provided the appropriate undertaking as to damages.
