The court accepted there was sufficient risk of dissipation based on the sworn allegation of a threat, the unexplained withdrawal of substantial funds from a joint account that likely formed part of the deceased's estate, and a written agreement to share estate proceeds; balancing convenience and the low prejudice to the defendant (property is residence and defendant denies intent to sell), the court granted an interlocutory injunction restraining disposal of the Property, subject to discharge without further order if the defendant provides security of HK$500,000, with costs in the cause.
