    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA2136/2009

    The Tomlin order was set aside because the compromise did not resolve the Money Lenders Ordinance issues and there were strong arguable grounds that the underlying agreements might contravene ss24 or 25 MLO; the court must therefore permit those statutory issues to be litigated rather than enforce the compromise without scrutiny.
