The court held that s.3(c) conferred jurisdiction because, on the facts, the family had a real and substantial connection with Hong Kong despite only six and a half months' residence: the husband worked and ran an office in Hong Kong, the family had settled domestic and educational arrangements and intended to remain for a fairly extended period, and expatriate status does not preclude a substantial connection; accordingly the husband's summons seeking to deny jurisdiction was dismissed.
