    RI v. SSH

    Citation
    RI v. SSH
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV261/2009

    The Court dismissed the appeal: Hong Kong had a real and substantial connection to the matrimonial proceedings at commencement and the judge's refusal to stay was within proper judicial discretion and not plainly wrong; alternatively, even if France were the more appropriate forum, a stay would deprive the wife of a legitimate personal or juridical advantage (notably inclusion and claims for child D) and therefore should be refused.
