RE FAN VIRGINIA

Citation

[2021] HKCFI 550
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCB4195/2020

The debtor admitted signing the relevant agreements and failed to file an affirmation or to establish any recognised vitiating factor or corroborating evidence for her alleged assurances; her inability to pay is not a defence to the petition; consequently she did not establish a bona fide dispute on substantial grounds and a usual bankruptcy order was warranted.
