The Master’s summary judgment was set aside because material triable issues and late evidence required further scrutiny; conditional leave to defend was granted on the basis that Mr Lam must pay into court the current HKD equivalent of JP 42,560,000 (as determined by HSBC mid‑market rate on the date of judgment) within 30 days or provide security to the satisfaction of a Master; this protects the plaintiff's recovery while allowing resolution of factual disputes at trial.
