The summons was dismissed because (1) the service was valid: the only plausible reading of the evidence is that D2 was told he was served with a writ and he filed an Acknowledgement of Service; and (2) the forum non conveniens stay failed because D2 produced no proper expert evidence identifying a specific Mainland court willing and able to hear the dispute and, even if such a forum existed, staying proceedings as to D2 only would be inappropriate given related Hong Kong proceedings against D3; costs and an unless order were therefore appropriate.
