The court held that the Plaintiff's claimed juridical advantage (ability to execute on assets in both jurisdictions) did not justify concurrent proceedings because enforcement routes exist (action in Hong Kong on PRC judgment and summary judgment procedure) and the balancing exercise favoured requiring an election; accordingly the Plaintiff was restrained from prosecuting the PRC proceedings and ordered to proceed in Hong Kong, with costs on an indemnity basis.
