    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAJ3/2000

    The court dismissed the application for inspection because the plaintiff failed to demonstrate special circumstances or irreparable harm necessary to justify an exceptional inspection order, the evidence before the court was insufficient and speculative, and jurisdictional and contractual factors (exclusive China Maritime Court clause, arbitration/LOF, lack of leave to serve out/joinder, unclear pleaded causes of action) precluded the relief sought.
