The court found there were serious questions to be tried on goodwill, alleged authorization by the BVI company and acts of passing off, and after weighing the balance of convenience (including the June 98 Agreement, weak/obscure authorization evidence, similarity of logos and evidence of confusion) concluded the merits favoured the Plaintiff sufficiently to grant an interlocutory injunction, subject to a fortified cross-undertaking of HK$500,000 and a 14-day suspension to allow compliance.
