The application to set aside the statutory demand is dismissed because absence of domicile, residence or carrying on business in Hong Kong is not a ground to set aside a statutory demand where jurisdiction can be founded on the debtor's presence in Hong Kong on the day the petition is presented under s4(1)(b); Rule 44 was not contravened because the interest was calculated according to served Order 14 judgments; and disputes on liability should have been raised in the Order 14 proceedings.
