RE KONG HONG HO
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCB937/2004

The court refused the adjournment as tactical and unsupported, found the purported sale ungenuine in the absence of a signed agreement, held the substituted service order valid and that the lack of a supporting affidavit lacked substance; accordingly the petition succeeded and the usual bankruptcy orders were made with costs.

Citation

CHAO YUAN CHIAO v. REGAL HOTELS INTERNATIONAL LTD. AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCB3869/1999

The court found no bona fide dispute on substantial grounds as to the petition debt, rejected the respondent's factual allegations as inherently improbable and contradicted by contemporaneous documents, held that the asserted cross‑claims were not genuine or of sufficient value to outweigh the petition debt, and applied issue estoppel to bar re‑litigation of matters decided in the mortgage action; accordingly a bankruptcy order was made against the respondent with costs to the bank.
