    Decision of the High Court of Hong Kong in the case HCCT 58/2021 dated 21 June 2022

    High Court of Hong Kong

    Case no.
    HCCT 58/2021
    Citation
    [2022] HKCFI 1864
    Decision summary
    The Court rejected X's objections that he had been unable to present his case in the CIETAC arbitration and held that he had waived the alleged award-calculation irregularity. It found reasonably arguable grounds concerning the scope of the submission to arbitration and consolidation of disputes, and adjourned G's Hong Kong enforcement application for three months pending the Beijing court's decision on X's setting-aside application. The Court declined to order additional security at that stage, gave G liberty to seek immediate enforcement or further security, and ordered X to pay the costs of the summons.
