  • 29 Apr 2021

    RE CHINA GREENFRESH GROUP CO, LTD

    Citation
    [2021] HKCFI 1257
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCW213/2020

    Where a subsequent winding-up petition is clearly improperly presented the court should dismiss it; where there are extenuating circumstances the court should order removal from the court file. Costs are to be determined by the court's discretion having regard to the conduct of the parties and their solicitors; muddled conduct may justify no order as to costs. Applying these principles: HCCW 83/2020 adjourned with directions; HCCW 187/2020 removed from the court file with no order as to costs; HCCW 213/2020 dismissed with no order as to costs.
