1. This is a petition for bankruptcy brought by the Wing Lung Bank Ltd on the basis of a judgment debt in the sum of HK$41,604,791.70. The debt is not disputed by the debtor, Kok Hiu Pan. The only ground of opposition is that the petitioner has failed to establish any one of the jurisdictional requirements in section 4(1) of the Bankruptcy Ordinance, Cap. 6. If this were correct, the court would have no jurisdiction to make a bankruptcy order against the debtor.
