RE PERFECTA DYEING, PRINTING & WEAVING WORKS LTD

On the evidence the Company was insolvent, the proposed instalment repayment plan was speculative and lacked credible assurance of performance given the Company's and related Panyu Perfecta's indebtedness and frozen assets; multiple substantial creditors supported the petition; therefore the court was satisfied a winding-up order should be made and an adjournment would serve no useful purpose.
