    HCMP298/2020

    On brief consideration the respondent's challenge was not manifestly strong: medical evidence was limited and did not show inability to present the case; respondent resided overseas and had apparently disposed of a Hong Kong asset; enforcement would be more difficult if delayed; therefore the court exercised its discretion under RHC Order 73 r10A to order security of HKD 1,350,000 for the Award and HKD 450,000 for costs, payable into court within 28 days, with failure resulting in dismissal of the respondent's applications and indemnity costs.
