1. In mid-September 1997, the Plaintiff ( "Nicekind" ) wanted to subscribe shares in China Telecom ( "the Shares" ). A director of Nicekind, Mr Ma Nam ( "Ma" ), asked D1 ( "Yim" ) to find someone who could fund the subscription and Yim agreed to do so. The exact nature of this "agreement" is one of the issues in this action: Nicekind regarded it to be an agency agreement whereas the Defendants deny this to be the case.
