    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCB1174/2023

    The application to set aside the bankruptcy order was dismissed because the debtor failed to provide a reasonable and credible explanation for his absence and failed to comply with the court's direction to file detailed medical evidence; the debt was properly assessed under Limitation Ordinance s.4(4); and even if set aside the court concluded the bankruptcy order would inevitably be made again, so discretion to annul was refused.
