The court held the prohibitory injunctions and the paragraph 2 discovery order must be read as limited to acts in Hong Kong because penal orders must be clear and unambiguous and any ambiguity is resolved in favour of the alleged contemnor; accordingly the defendants were not in breach of the prohibitory orders or paragraph 2 and the contempt motion was dismissed.
