    RE MICHAEL HEATH NATHAN JOHNSON
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCB932/1995

    The Receiving Order was set aside because the evidence established that the debtor was not ordinarily resident in Hong Kong nor had a dwelling house in the year before presentation of the petition, rendering the petition falsely based; consequently the Receiving Order and adjudication were discharged and costs were awarded against the petitioning creditor, and the court required inquiry into the Official Receiver's use of the term 'abscond'.
