The court found P had standing as the umbrella governance company and had established a good arguable case of defamatory publications and intention to repeat; no material non-disclosure was shown that would justify setting aside the 26/7 Leave or the ex parte injunction; qualified privilege, justification and fair comment defences were unlikely or not reasonably anticipated; Hong Kong was the appropriate forum; accordingly the Summons was dismissed in its entirety, the 26/7 Leave stood, and the ex parte Injunction Order was continued (regrant not necessary but would have been ordered).
