    RE JINRO (HK) INTERNATIONAL LTD.
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCW1352/2001

    The court exercised its case management discretion to admit the three additional affidavits as potentially relevant (Euroclear, limited Belgian-law opinion, and the Jinro Ltd president), permitted the petitioners 28 days to file evidence in reply, allowed one further company update affidavit 14 days before the hearing with a 7-day reply period, and refused the Company's request to determine the petitioners' locus standi as a preliminary issue because it would not aid a just and convenient disposal and the application was late; costs of the summons were ordered in the cause.
