The default judgment was interlocutory and not final so the injunction did not merge; the interlocutory injunction was properly in force only to restrain publication causing damage in Hong Kong and did not extend to publications made in England, and because the alleged breaches related to publications outside Hong Kong the Judge could not be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that contempt was established; appeal must be allowed and committal set aside.
