    RE CHAO SING KUNG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCB781/1991

    A receiving order was made because the debtor had committed an act of bankruptcy by failing to comply with the bankruptcy notice, the debt was undisputed, and the limited stay granted in related proceedings did not oust the Bankruptcy Court's jurisdiction nor would it materially reduce the debt; therefore the court exercised its discretion under s.9(2) to make the receiving order.
