Hong Kong was the forum with the most real and substantial connection because parties lived in Hong Kong for the majority of the marriage, both are Hong Kong permanent residents, the children live and are schooled in Hong Kong and principal assets and companies are located and investigable here; the Husband failed to prove Germany was clearly or distinctly more appropriate and the Wife would suffer substantial juridical and personal disadvantage (including restriction of financial claims under German law and hardship regarding children) if a stay were granted, therefore the stay was refused.
