    On the whole of the evidence the court concluded there was a real risk of dissipation: defendant's statements at the September meeting were objectively threatening, the only known Hong Kong asset was funds in an HSBC account which could be easily dissipated, and the defendant failed to produce solid evidence of Sinosure revocation or a legitimate set-off. Accordingly the continuation of the 2nd Mareva injunction until trial or further order was necessary to prevent a judgment being rendered unsatisfied.

    THE QUEEN v. CHEUNG WAI LEUNG

    Citation
    THE QUEEN v. CHEUNG WAI LEUNG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA1103/1990

    The conviction for attempted theft was unsustainable because the charge improperly alleged an attempt to steal a bank account (the customer does not own the account) and the Crown failed to prove the account was in credit or that extracting cash was possible; factual impossibility negated criminal attempt, therefore the conviction was quashed.
