The court held that the plaintiff has a bona fide claim against Wu Heung Ming and that the dispute as to whether Wu knew of or authorised the deposits is a live issue that must be tried; because Wu is the owner of Po Cheong and the issues overlap, joinder is necessary to avoid duplicative proceedings, so the registrar's order to join Wu as second defendant is upheld and the appeal is dismissed.
