    LI WING FUNG v. LI CHUN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV185/2000

    Evidence of failure to pay the judgment, repeated bankruptcy petitions and a bankruptcy petition by the Plaintiff raised an inference of impecuniosity or unwillingness to pay; absence of any responsive evidence by the Defendant justified ordering security for costs in a realistic amount taking taxation into account; the appeal is to be stayed until HK$145,000 is paid into court and will be dismissed if not paid by the deadline.
