1. Where an admiralty action in rem has been instituted, what is the proper approach to be adopted by the court in an application to stay that action on the basis of forum non conveniens ? In the present appeals, the competing jurisdictions were Hong Kong and the Ningbo Maritime Court, in the PRC (I will in this judgment, for convenience, use the term ‘PRC’ to mean the Mainland excluding Hong Kong). The appeals were heard on 17 October 2008 and dismissed, with reasons to be provided.
