The Final Judgment was irregular because the defendant was not physically in Hong Kong when served and lacked notice, and accordingly it should be set aside as of right under Order 13 r.9; however, having regard to the defendant's substantial delay, evasive conduct about his whereabouts, prejudice to the plaintiff and a real risk of empty judgment, the court imposed the condition that the defendant must pay RMB 4,165,676.66 (or HKD equivalent) into court within 28 days; leave to adduce the seven Hong Kong judgments to prove PRC law under s.59 was granted.
