The respondent failed to demonstrate that Hong Kong is not the natural or appropriate forum and failed to show Queensland was clearly and distinctly more appropriate; further, the petitioner would suffer real juridical disadvantages if compelled to litigate in Queensland (risk of non‑registrability and non‑enforceability of the Hong Kong Amended Consent Order, potential Australian time limits and 'clean break' approach, and delay and expense), therefore the stay was refused and the respondent's summons dismissed; costs awarded to the petitioner.
