The Court held that Hong Kong courts may recognise and enforce Taiwan court judgments concerning private rights under the established common law exception (Carl Zeiss/Hesperides) and that such recognition of a Taiwan money judgment was not contrary to public policy or inimical to sovereign rights; therefore the defendant had no arguable defence and summary judgment was properly entered.
