The court found a strong prima facie case of passing off based on close imitation of the plaintiff's get-up, concluded interlocutory injunctive relief preventing manufacture, distribution and sale in Hong Kong was appropriate, and refused any proviso permitting manufacture for export to China because the defendants lacked control over exported goods and had not shown a legitimate trade warranting such an exception; delay did not bar relief on these facts.
