The Prohibition Order was refused because, although the plaintiff had a reasonable cause of action (claims over US$4 million), the court was not satisfied on the totality of evidence that the defendant was likely to abscond or that judgment would be obstructed or delayed; the defendant's regular commuting to Hong Kong and continuing connections meant the risk of absconding was not established.
