- Court of Appeal
The Court held that s 6(1)(c) was satisfied by notice of the Hong Kong proceedings as a whole and the appellant had actual notice of the hearing; enforcement of the Hong Kong default judgment did not offend New Zealand public policy under s 6(1)(e); and the s 7(1) discretion to adjourn should not be exercised given lack of obvious appeal merit, prior consideration by Hong Kong courts and delays — accordingly the appeal is dismissed and registration of the Hong Kong judgment stands.
