    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCT48/2002

    The 6 July order made by Suffiad J, as corrected and returned to on 12 July, must be treated as a valid order; the material facts (technical insolvency, unexplained undervalue sale of major income-producing property immediately before arbitration, immediate withdrawals of deposited funds, transfers to director and related companies, and inadequate disclosure) constitute solid evidence of a real risk that the arbitration award would go unsatisfied; accordingly the Mareva injunction should be continued and the respondent required to preserve HKD 1000000, with costs to be costs in the cause.
