    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2568/2007

    The court granted the applications because, in each case, shareholders were not prejudiced, the defaults were inadvertent and the directors are now aware and likely to comply with the obligation to lay audited accounts in future; absence of Inland Revenue correspondence did not prevent granting the relief but the court recorded that such evidence should be provided in future similar applications.
