RE TANG WAI KUEN
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCB940/2004

The petitions were allowed and usual bankruptcy orders were made because the debt was undisputed, the debtors produced no evidence to support their valuation or a genuine sale, the alleged purchaser had not signed any agreement, the substituted service order remained unchallenged, and the adjournment application was a tactical delay without merit.

RE KONG HONG HO
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCB937/2004

The court refused the adjournment as tactical and unsupported, found the purported sale ungenuine in the absence of a signed agreement, held the substituted service order valid and that the lack of a supporting affidavit lacked substance; accordingly the petition succeeded and the usual bankruptcy orders were made with costs.
