The ordonnance de référé in this case finally and conclusively decided under French law that the defendant could not lawfully stop payment on the cheques (the obligation was not seriously disputable), the Commercial Court intended the sums to be paid, the defendant submitted to French jurisdiction by contesting the order and appealing, and enforcement is not contrary to Hong Kong public policy; therefore the registration of the French judgment was properly maintained.
