Citation

RE GALAXY ELECTRO-PLATING FACTORY LTD.
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCW818/1999

The petitioners failed to prove that the statutory demands were received as required by section 178(1)(a) because there was no evidence of delivery (registered post records absent or returned); consequently they could not rely on the deeming provision and also failed to prove inability to pay under section 177(1)(d); therefore both winding-up petitions were dismissed.
