The court allowed the application: SVO's evidence was necessary for the purposes of justice and, on the evidence, SVO could not reasonably be expected to attend trial in Hong Kong (including by video‑link); the letter of request, properly framed, can permit appropriate cross‑examination in the Netherlands and the potential prejudice and delay are manageable (costs can compensate most prejudice and timetable will be kept under review).
