    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA11053/1999

    The court found that the documentary requests signed by the defendant, the pattern of payments and ledger reconciliations, the confirmation letter bearing the defendant's chop, and the evidence that Sun Kong and related entities were controlled by the defendant established that the defendant was the primary debtor; the agreement with Sun Kong did not effect a novation and did not release the defendant; accordingly the defendant was liable to pay the claimed principal and interest and costs.
