The ex-parte mandatory injunction to compel withdrawal of UK enforcement proceedings was refused because mandatory relief should not be granted ex-parte; the prohibitory/anti-suit injunctions were refused because there were not parallel substantive proceedings but rather enforcement of a final Hong Kong judgment in the UK, and there was insufficient urgency or need for confidentiality to justify ex-parte relief. Enforcement abroad is not barred by an implied confidentiality undertaking absent specific authority or leave.
