Provisional liquidators were appointed because there was a prima facie case for winding up, the company was apparently insolvent with competing creditor claims, perishable assets were at risk and held in disputed locations including a shareholder's residence, and an independent officer was necessary to take possession, determine claims and realise assets for the benefit of creditors.

S.A. INTERNATIONAL INC. v. ANG TAI HOI t/a HOI FUNG HONG
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1664/2002

Appeal allowed; Registrar's dismissal set aside and defendant granted leave to defend conditional on payment into court of the claimed sum because, although the defendant's asserted oral consignment arrangement lacked documentary support and was uncommercial, it was at least capable of belief and therefore triable; conditional payment into court protects plaintiff pending trial.
