Court of Appeal of the High Court of Hong Kong
- Decision summary

Court of Final Appeal of Hong Kong
- Citation
- [2018] HKCFA 12
- Decision summary
- The court allowed First Media's appeal, set aside the decisions of the courts below, and extended by three months the time to apply to set aside the orders granting Astro leave to enforce the awards and the judgment entered on those orders. It held that the absence of a valid arbitration agreement with the Additional Parties outweighed the 14-month delay and that failure to set aside the awards at the Singapore seat was not relevant except where the statutory ground concerning an award set aside or suspended at the seat was relied on.
