The Court refused leave because Hong Kong is the clearly and distinctly more appropriate forum for trial; a parties' election of foreign governing law does not automatically determine forum; the agreements are challengeable and their applicability can be tried in Hong Kong; the 'or otherwise' ground was not made out; there is no basis to grant a stay.
