- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCCT49/2000
Defendant did not establish the prima facie case under s.357 by relying solely on the plaintiff's status as a shelf company; accordingly s.357 was not triggered and, even if it had been, the court would have declined to exercise its discretion to order substantial security because the claim was bona fide, small and an order for large security would be oppressive.
