Case number

HCMH36/2008

Given the paramount need for an objective, independent and professional committee to investigate potential company management issues and to act under court supervision, appointing a single experienced independent professional accountant (Mr Muk) best protects Mr A's interests; appointing B would risk compromising committee independence and unduly complicate administration, and multiple accountants were unnecessary given the estate's management and risk of duplication.

• Appointment of committee under part ii
• Independence and conflicts of interest
• Investigatory powers of committee
• Court supervisory role
• Number and qualification of committee members
