    Citation
    In re FINBO ENGINEERING CO. LTD.
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCW496/1997

    Finbo established arguable defences of both legal and equitable set-off that rendered the petition debt substantially and bona fide disputed and, on the exercise of the court's discretion given the substantial pending cross-claims and factual matters bearing on causation and delay, it was not appropriate to make a winding-up order; the petition is therefore dismissed nisi and costs to follow the event.
