The Court of Appeal held the Deputy High Court Judge erred in setting aside the 14 May 1999 order: there was sufficient foundation (expert evidence and subsequent execution by Macau) to suppose Macau would accept the letter of request, issue estoppel barred re-litigation of the jurisdictional fact, and the 12 March 2002 order setting aside the 14 May 1999 order was therefore set aside and the earlier order restored; accordingly the appeal is allowed and costs were ordered against the respondent.
