The summons was dismissed because service on the 1st defendant was not shown to be valid so the court would not make an order detrimental to him in his absence; the court concluded it lacked jurisdiction under Order 31 Rule 2 to vary substantive entitlements by shifting costs solely to the 1st defendant; and the valuation evidence was insufficient to establish a market increase justifying raising the minimum sale price from HK$4,000,000 to HK$5,500,000, especially given the original order's safeguards and the repossession basis of the initial figure.
