High Court of Hong Kong, Court of First Instance
Case no.
HCB 7582/2020
Citation
[2022] HKCFI 950
Decision summary
The court found that the statutory demand was validly served, declined to dismiss or stay the amended bankruptcy petition pending arbitration because the dispute over the six cheques was not covered by the arbitration clauses, and held that none of the issues raised were triable. It made a bankruptcy order against Dai Yumin, dismissed his summons, and ordered on a nisi basis that Dundee Greentech Limited have its costs.
