Court

Court of First Instance

Case number

HCA2680/2018

Because the Mainland judgment underpinning the Hong Kong action was revoked/set aside by the Supreme People’s Court and enforcement in the Mainland terminated, there is currently no final and conclusive foreign judgment to enforce in Hong Kong; accordingly the writ and statement of claim disclose no subsisting cause of action and must be struck out, and the reply and Mareva injunction must be set aside.

• Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments
• Final and conclusive judgment
• Effect of retrial/set aside
• Mareva injunction discharge
• Costs
