District Court
Case number

DCEC1684/2016

The court found the Applicant's account more credible, concluded the Respondent was aware of the accident and deliberately evaded service at the two addresses, held service and judgments were regular under the rules (including s14 Cap 282B), and determined the Respondent failed to demonstrate a real prospect of success; accordingly the set-aside summonses were dismissed.

RE WU CHUN KWAN

Citation

[2019] HKCFI 2802
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCB4259/2018

The court granted the interim appointment because the Petitioners demonstrated an urgent need to protect and investigate the Debtor's estate given credible evidence of asset dissipation, evasion of service and ongoing transfers; the balance of convenience favored immediate protective intervention and the jurisdiction permits appointment of interim trustees/managers with necessary powers prior to a bankruptcy order.
