    Citation
    MONEY LINK TRAVEL CO LTD AND OTHERS v. YIP WING CHING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1389/2014

    The court ordered immediate return of the 7 VRDs subject to the plaintiffs giving the usual undertaking as to damages because the wider unresolved dispute over beneficial ownership and company control made it premature to dispense with the usual undertaking; the additional restrictive undertaking sought by the defendant was refused for lack of factual basis; costs were ordered to be plaintiffs' costs in the cause to be taxed on a partyandparty basis because the defendant's conduct contributed to avoidable expense but the substantive appropriateness should be considered after trial.
