The High Court held that Hong Kong recognises the authority of liquidators validly appointed in the place of incorporation and that, at common law, the Companies Court has power to grant assistance to foreign liquidators from similar common law jurisdictions on a letter of request and to make orders analogous to those available to local liquidators (including orders for production of documents); accordingly the applications for confidentiality, recognition and production orders were granted.
