The court continued the Mareva injunction as a stop-gap, maintaining the freeze of CAD803,610.50 and prohibiting the defendant from withdrawing any part of his salary/income from his bank account pending determination of the summons, finding no substantial prejudice to the defendant given evidence of prior withdrawals likely to sustain him until the end of September 2014.

LIU XIAN FENG SAM AND ANOTHER v. LIU BO AND OTHERS

Citation

LIU XIAN FENG SAM AND ANOTHER v. LIU BO AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA5474/2001

Because the 1st defendant had no other funds and the solicitors' contingent arrangement did not establish available resources, and because the defence was not shown to be hopeless on the evidence heard, the court exercised its discretion to vary the injunction and permit limited withdrawals (HK$623,800) for living and legal expenses until 13 January 2006, balancing potential injustice to both parties.
