The court held that the alleged non-disclosure (the Good Year Agreement and related factual disputes) went to the merits and would not have defeated the provisional ex parte assessment; defendants admitted the BEL Agreement was signed for the 1st defendant and the plaintiff established serious questions to be tried against all defendants; accordingly the Masters order granting leave to serve out was not shown to be improperly obtained and the summons to discharge was dismissed; Hong Kong was not shown to be clearly or distinctly inappropriate as forum.
