The Applicant's present case materially and directly contradicts the factual case advanced and conceded in earlier PRC proceedings; permitting the Applicant to repackage and re‑litigate those issues in Hong Kong would constitute an abuse of the Hong Kong court process and bring the administration of justice into disrepute. Accordingly the claim against the 2nd Respondent is struck out. Alternatively, even if not an abuse, the PRC is the clearly more appropriate forum and proceedings would be stayed. Costs ordered on an indemnity basis.
