- HCA1240/2001
The court held that, given the risk of losing reserved trial dates, the differing readiness of parties (notably Andrew Ma & Company and SH Leung & Co.) and the complexity and volume of evidence, the three actions should be tried sequentially (Winding-Up Petition first) with directions that relevant evidence from earlier trials stand as evidence in subsequent trials; leave granted to specified parties to participate in related trials; short breaks and an eight-week reserved period provided to accommodate the subsequent trials.
