    RE TO KIN WAH
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCB9856/2007

    The court held that the Debtor's unquantified but substantial cross-claim did not bar a bankruptcy order because the Petitioners had available reverse cross-claims (taxed costs and petition debt) that overtopped the Debtor's cross-claim; the proposed pledges of Tso shares/entitlements were not shown to be assignable or effectively available; and the proposed land security lacked evidence of ownership and value, so none of the Debtor's grounds sufficed to resist the bankruptcy order.
