    Judgment of the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance in the case HCB 5246/2016 dated 29 May 2018

    High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance

    Case no.
    HCB 5246/2016
    Citation
    [2018] HKCFI 1182
    Decision summary
    The court dismissed Easy Mount Group Limited's bankruptcy petition against Lam Ka Yuk, James. The alleged RMB 60 million liability was not a liquidated sum and therefore was not a debt within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Ordinance; the court also rejected the prevention-principle objection and held that Lam could not rely on the arbitration clause because Well Spread Group Limited had not disputed liability or commenced arbitration. Easy Mount was ordered nisi to pay Lam's costs, subject to taxation if not agreed.
