The court ordered transfer to the Court of First Instance because the legal and factual issues are highly complex, involve a substantial foreign element (an ongoing s.17 application concerning overseas trusts), and the capital value of the assets is very high (undisputed assets ~HKD255 million plus claimed USD69 million trusts); the parties agreed transfer and the transfer is made pursuant to Rules 32 and 80 and Practice Directions 15.4 to take effect after pronouncement of the Decree Nisi.
