    Citation
    RE ADVANCED GENERAL PRINTING INKS LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCW1342/2002

    The Company was insolvent on both cash flow and balance sheet tests and the shareholders' relationship had irretrievably broken down producing a board deadlock; SCG validly exercised its contractual right to give notice to wind up and was not acting with an ulterior motive or abusing court process; alternative remedies were impracticable or unreasonable; accordingly a winding‑up order was appropriate and costs should be paid by AICL and taxed on a higher scale.
