Defendant failed to establish a real prospect of success: the marks were held similar and likely to cause confusion in relation to identical goods; the defendant's website and representations supported a finding of use in Hong Kong or an intention to trade here; the plaintiff demonstrated sufficient reputation and cross-border recognition to sustain passing-off. Accordingly the application to set aside the default judgment was dismissed.
