Because the plaintiff is a foreign administrator with no known assets in Hong Kong and the appeal would likely be rendered nugatory if the judgment were enforced, the Court granted a stay of execution pending appeal conditional on the defendant paying US$12,000,000 into court within 21 days; the plaintiff's solicitor's undertaking was insufficient to protect the appeal and balancing of interests required payment into court.
