    HKSAR v. SUNAN INDUSTRIES LTD AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA939/2007

    No properly directed juror, giving a Hong Kong shopper a moment's thought, could conclude on the evidence that the label 'Daniel Hechter, Paris' would be taken as indicating the place of manufacture; it denotes the fashion house/design/quality control and, given modern globalised manufacturing, would not reasonably be taken as indicating manufacture in Paris or France, so there was no case to answer and the magistrate's dismissal was upheld.
