- FACV10/2009
The appeal is allowed: s.357, read with the definition of "company" in s.2(1), applies only to companies formed and registered under the Ordinance (incorporated in Hong Kong); the context does not require extending the definition to overseas companies registered under Part XI, and it is for the legislature or the Rules Committee (via amendments to the Rules of the High Court) to address any perceived lacunae.
