Because the respondent demonstrated realistic prospects of success in its Mainland set aside proceedings (notably on non bis in idem and related due process issues) and there was no risk of frustrating enforcement given available Hong Kong assets, the court exercised its discretion to adjourn the Hong Kong setting aside/enforcement proceedings for six months but required the respondent to pay US$2,000,000 into court within 28 days as security, with default resulting in dismissal of the setting aside application.
