    The plaintiff established by documentary evidence and auditor's verification that the HK$429,000 credited to the defendant was payment for goods due to the plaintiff and not the defendant; the defendant failed to appear and prove any entitlement, therefore the court awarded repayment of HK$429,000 to the plaintiff with interest from 4 July 1995 and costs, and released the sums paid into court to the plaintiff.
