- CACV180/2008
The 1st defendant was validly served in Hong Kong by leaving court documents on his person at the airport after he refused to accept them, but the 1st defendant succeeded on forum non conveniens and the action against him is stayed because Singapore (or BVI) is a distinctly more appropriate forum; the 2nd defendant succeeded in having the order for service out of jurisdiction set aside because although the plaintiff raised a good arguable case under Order 11 r.1(f) and (p), it failed to show Hong Kong was clearly the appropriate forum for trial; consequently Mareva injunctions were discharged.
