Recorder dismissed the summons because clause 5 did not operate as an exclusive jurisdiction clause ousting Hong Kong jurisdiction and the defendant failed to establish any other available forum clearly or distinctly more appropriate than Hong Kong; the Russian Commercial Court had already ruled the same claim could not be heard in Russian commercial courts, and the defendant failed to identify any alternative Russian forum.
