- CACV164/2013
The Court held that the illegality defence failed because Saitek did not rely on illegal performance and, applying a proportionality/public policy analysis, it would be disproportionate to refuse enforcement of the contractual payment claims; however Saitek failed to prove particulars and sums required for a particular lien so Timely's counterclaim succeeded for RMB569,000 which was to be set off against the judgment sums; costs were varied to reflect the outcome.
