    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP1324/2024

    The court ordered sale of the 1st Property because the plaintiff demonstrated entitlement to enforce the charging orders, the asserted 20% beneficial interest by Thomas was rejected as unsubstantiated and raised too late and not by a party, the defendant's alternative proposals were not credible or timely, and the plaintiff's valuer's reserve price of HK$54,900,000 was a lawful and acceptable starting point with the market to determine the actual price; accordingly sale is necessary to satisfy the outstanding judgment debts and indemnity costs are payable by the defendant.
