    Citation
    WORLD ASIAN INTERNATIONAL LTD v. BRILLIANT TOP IN LOGISTICS LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCL8/2011

    The court found that Frankie Lai acted for and represented both defendant companies, that both companies functioned as an indistinguishable undertaking in providing storage and ancillary services, that they breached their duty as bailees by allowing an untrustworthy third party to assume control of the container (whether by collusion or negligence), and therefore both defendants were jointly and severally liable for the loss; judgment awarded for the plaintiff in the claimed sum with interest and costs.
