The Court allowed the appeal because the High Court materially erred in applying English/Malaysian tort principles without proof of Lao P.D.R. law; the respondents failed to satisfy the double actionability rule by adducing expert evidence of Lao law, rendering the HCJ plainly wrong on applicable law; the High Court order of 3 March 2022 was set aside and appeal allowed with costs.
