D E C I S I O N
________________
1. I have before me a petition to wind up the Company issued on 17 December 2020. The Petitioner has not issued a statutory demand. The underlying debt relied on is non-payment of the full amount of a summarily assessed costs order made by Deputy High Court Judge Rachel Lam SC for HK$900,000 on 30 July 2020.
2. I allow a late application to file the evidence of Mr Filippovskikh Rimma in opposition. The affirmation seems to acknowledge that the Company is not in a position to immediately pay the outstanding amount. In [11], however, there is a payment proposal.
3. I will adjourn the Petition until Monday 17 May 2021. I do so on the basis that unless the first instalment is paid in full by 5pm on 12 May 2021, the Company should expect to be wound up on 17 May 2021.
