Please note on the above-mentioned ruling which was handed down by the Honourable Madam Justice Kwan on 21 February 2002, at P2 lines O and P: the sentence which reads "The 2nd respondent did so without objection and no court order was made in that respect." is deleted and replaced by the following -

"The 2nd respondent objected through his counsel to such disclosure, no adjournment was sought to argue the matter and after hearing brief submissions from the parties without the benefit of any authorities, I ordered the 2nd respondent to provide an affirmation giving details of his bank accounts and of a company wholly owned by him from January 1996 to present, details of the management and audited accounts of that company during the same period, and details of properties owned by the 2nd defendant legally and beneficially, real and personal, over HK$50,000.00, during that period. I further directed that within 14 days thereof the 2nd respondent was to provide to the liquidators copies of his available bank statements and to authorize the liquidators to obtain the statements not in his possession from his banks and to approach the Inland Revenue Department regarding an undertaking he gave voluntarily to obtain copies of his tax returns since 1995/96. The 2nd respondent has provided an affidavit in compliance with that order."
