    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ1858/2022

    The judge adopted the master’s reasons and held there was credible evidence that the plaintiff company lacked assets and may seek to avoid costs orders; the director’s ownership of separate property did not guarantee the company’s liabilities; on balance it was just to order security for costs of HK$386,733 and to uphold the master’s summary costs award of HK$110,000 and dismissal of the Expunge Summons; the appeal was dismissed.
