The appeal was dismissed because the defendant produced no evidentiary basis for an arguable defence: the cheque was governed by Hong Kong law and supported by consideration and therefore enforceable even if the underlying agreements were ineffective under Macau law; there was no evidence that Macau law rendered the agreements illegal or that Article 8 or Regulation 24.3 applied to the August 2011 transactions; no evidence supported reliance on s.634. Summary judgment was therefore correctly entered and upheld.
