The judge held that none of the proposed grounds of appeal showed a reasonable prospect of success; Chow was not established on the pleaded case to be a trustee de son tort or within clause 17; forum non conveniens factors and the existence of a third‑party claim justified the court's exercise of discretion to refuse a stay and to hear the matters in Hong Kong; summary judgment was properly entered because the Trustees failed to advance substantive defences on affidavit; accordingly leave to appeal, extension of time and stays were refused and the summonses dismissed.
