1. This is a consolidated action. The plaintiff and defendant by counterclaim is the Union Bank of Hong Kong Ltd, which has since changed its name to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Ltd. I have already ordered in the course of the trial that all references to the Union Bank of Hong Kong Ltd in these proceedings be changed to the new name. For simplicity I will refer to it as "the Bank".
