On the balance of probabilities the Wife failed to prove that the Husband had a substantial connection with Hong Kong at the date of petition: his visits were transitory and limited, his business operations and personal connections were predominantly in PRC, Singapore and the US, and the mere fact of holding a controlling share in a Hong Kong listed company and deriving dividends therefrom did not establish a substantial connection sufficient to confer jurisdiction under s.3(c) Cap.179; accordingly the Hong Kong court lacked jurisdiction and the petition was dismissed.
