    Citation
    YEARICH LTD v. MOSTOP LTD AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP851/2007

    The court held that the strike-out applications were broadly based on the same legal contention and that the respondents were, overall, the successful party; the relative commercial value of companies and mere number of petitions struck out were irrelevant to the strike-out merits; the order nisi awarding half of the striking-out costs to respondents was appropriate and the application to vary that order was refused; costs of the hearing were awarded to respondents.
