1. This is an application by the 1st defendant to strike out the plaintiff's statement of claim as against the 1st defendant on the grounds that it discloses no reasonable cause of action, it is frivolous or vexatious or it is an abuse of the process of the court. The summons originally included an application for a stay on the ground of forum non conveniens but I understand that has now been withdrawn on the 1st defendant accepting the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong courts.
