Decision of the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance in the case HCCT 29/2013 dated 16 March 2016
High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance
- Decision summary
- The court dismissed Metta Resources Limited's application for security for costs under section 905 of the Companies Ordinance because Metta did not establish that Chun Wo Building Construction Limited would be unable to pay a costs order. The court also held that the substantial overlap between Chun Wo's claim and Metta's counterclaim weighed against granting security, found the application unreasonably late, and ordered the application costs to be paid by Chun Wo.
