Hong Kong Case Law

Anti-set-off clause
  • 4 Jun 2024

    CF v. SHK

    Citation
    [2024] HKCFI 1493
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCT45/2023

    The court refused the stay because the arbitration tribunal had finally and validly held that the Anti-Set-Off Clause was reasonable under section 4 of the Misrepresentation Ordinance and operated to preclude any set-off; there were no very special circumstances to deprive the judgment creditor of enforcement, the second arbitration was at an early stage and would cause significant delay and prejudice to CF, and the winding-up petition is a separate proceeding not stayed by these enforcement proceedings.
