Foreign law is a matter of fact which must be pleaded and proved by the party relying on it; the plaintiff who did not rely on PRC law had no burden to prove it and the defendant failed to plead and prove any defence under PRC law; clause 10 is to be read as part of a security arrangement giving the lender an election of remedies rather than an automatic operation to extinguish the debt, therefore the defendant raised no triable defence and summary judgment was properly granted.
