1. This is an appeal from a Master's decision whereby he dismissed an application for a stay of proceedings. In these proceedings the plaintiff seeks payment of monies allegedly due under an agreement for the execution of works by it at an hotel in Dandong, northern China. The stay is sought on the ground that Hong Kong is not the appropriate forum for trial, and that a court in Dandong is clearly a more appropriate forum.
