- CACV244/2014
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, holding the judge below erred by failing to give due weight to the Singapore court's decision to discharge its Mareva injunction and by not addressing whether a real risk of dissipation remained or whether it was unjust or inconvenient to maintain ancillary relief under s21M; accordingly the Hong Kong Mareva injunction was discharged and the discovery order for bankers' records was set aside as the Hong Kong court should defer to the primary Singapore court and there were no pending Hong Kong proceedings to sustain third-party discovery.
