    HUI CHI MING v. KOON WING YEE AND OTHERS

    Citation
    HUI CHI MING v. KOON WING YEE AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1479/2009

    The plaintiff failed to demonstrate good reason to suppose, on the balance of the available evidence at the interlocutory stage, that the assets of The Magical 2000 Trust were, in substantive reality, controlled by the 1st Defendant or otherwise susceptible to a procedure that would lead to satisfaction of a judgment against him; the trustee HSBTIL is a genuine independent trustee and the documents and transactions relied upon by the plaintiff were insufficient, singly or cumulatively, to meet the higher threshold required to extend the Mareva injunction to trust assets.

    MEI YU LAU v. SHIU KI LAU AND OTHERS

    Citation
    MEI YU LAU v. SHIU KI LAU AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1063/1995

    There was good reason to suppose, on the material before the court, that the Prince Edward Road Property and other assets might be beneficially owned by the 1st Defendant; the affidavit evidence was incomplete and raised serious triable issues that could not be resolved without trial or further inquiry, so the application to discharge the injunctions was dismissed and the injunctions preserved; Account F injunction also retained in absence of documentary proof of closure.
