Although the Court has jurisdiction under s12(7) PCO to give prior authorization of payments, it will not authorize any payments under the intended Agency Agreement because that Agreement would constitute a commercial surrogacy in breach of s17 HRTO and is therefore illegal under Hong Kong law; illegality precludes authorization of the projected expenses and the originating summons is dismissed.
