    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCW216/2018

    Leave to appeal was refused because the Applicants failed to show a reasonable prospect of success: the 2020 Summons was limited to s286B(1)(c) and the Respondent had sworn it had no further information or documents; Applicants could not raise a s286B(1)(d) ground at the leave stage; no legal basis exists to compel the Respondent to obtain information from ex-directors under s286B(1)(c); and the correct remedies to challenge an affirmation are contempt proceedings or examination of the respondent's representative.
