The court refused to assume jurisdiction over the breach of contract claim because there was no serious question to be tried that Mr Ding was the contracting party (Chisun was a legitimately constituted purchaser). Although it was arguable that agents made representations attributable to Mr Ding, the alleged loss from any misleading conduct was speculative and likely de minimis for the relevant two-month period, so the threshold for assuming jurisdiction under r 6.29(1)(a)(ii) was not met and the claims against Mr Ding were dismissed.
