1. The sole issue in this appeal is whether the plaintiff was a money lender within the meaning of the Money Lenders Ordinance, Cap. 163 (“the Ordinance”). If so, being unlicensed, the plaintiff’s claim, inter alia, for the repayment of the loan of $2.5 million would have to be dismissed unless the court is prepared to exercise its discretion under section 23 of the Ordinance in his favour.
