- HCCL192/1998
The ex parte orders were discharged because the applicant's affidavits contained a material, culpable omission about prior Belgian proceedings (referral to arrest judge and arbitration) which was highly relevant to the ex parte judge's discretionary weighing; additionally the arbitration agreement required referral of the dispute and the arbitral tribunal had power to grant equivalent interim relief, so the court should not exercise its jurisdiction to continue the orders.
