The petition was adjourned on strict terms: unless the company paid the petitioner $49,820 by 4 pm on 9 May 2014 the company would be wound up on 19 May 2014; the court will generally require companies to be represented by solicitors and should be reluctant to permit directors to appear in place of solicitors except with leave.

KAI MIN FASHION (HK) LTD v. FOND EXPRESS LOGISTICS LTD AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP2367/2012

The notices of motion for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal were dismissed because the Court of Appeal was satisfied the intended appeals did not enjoy a real prospect of success and the refusal to extend time was a proper exercise of discretion applying established principles; the company was unrepresented without leave for a director to act and no adjournment was warranted; costs were ordered on an indemnity basis because sanctioned offers would have avoided the proceedings.
