The court granted the anti-suit injunction because the applicants had a legitimate interest (CCCI undertook to be bound by the Hong Kong proceedings), Hong Kong was the natural forum with deeper connections to the dispute, CCCDHK's commencement of Beijing proceedings carved out a single issue from long‑running multi‑party Hong Kong litigation and relied on a document only recently produced such that the foreign proceedings were vexatious, oppressive and unconscionable; accordingly, with due regard to comity, an ASI was required to protect the integrity of the Hong Kong proceedings.
