    Court of Appeal

    CACV152/2015

    On the pleaded facts the Court of Appeal held the petitioners sufficiently pleaded that the BVI company was, on the face of the draft amended petition, effectively the holding company of Top Trend with Hong Kong assets and thus there was a sufficient connection to permit the Hong Kong court to exercise its discretionary winding‑up jurisdiction; however the petitioners failed to plead that the BVI company had an established place of business in Hong Kong required for s.168A relief, so that limb of the appeal was dismissed.

    • Winding up of foreign unregistered company
