---------------------- (Heard Together) Before: Hon Kwan J in Chambers (Not open to the public) Date of Hearing: 19 August 2009 Date of Decision: 19 August 2009 ---------------------- D E C I S I O N ---------------------- 1.I make an order in terms of paragraphs 1 to 6 of each of the summonses in the three winding-up proceedings. I order the costs of the liquidators in this application to be a liquidation expense and be borne by the estate of the company concerned. 2.There is no opposition to the order for oral examination. I am satisfied in the circumstances that each of the respondents should be examined before a Master regarding the affairs and dealings of each of the three companies. 3.On the production of documents, what the respondents are required to do is to produce all documents within the scope of the order that are now in their possession. So these documents would cover, for instance, documents that Ms Lorrain Chung said her former solicitors have returned to her recently, if they do fall within the scope of the orders. 4.If the documents are not in their possession but the respondents are in the position to seek them from those who have the documents, they are required to provide letters of authorisation addressed to the bank for the relevant bank accounts, to authorise the bank to release the documents covered by the orders to the liquidators. 5.For the expenses of the bank in providing the documents, they should be borne by the respondents in the first place. If however, the respondents are really unable to pay, I understand from the liquidators that the liquidators are prepared to pay the bank the necessary charges. So there would be no practical difficulties in complying with the orders I make.
Mr. Christopher Dobby of Messrs Lovells, for the Liquidators Ms Chung Yuet Sheung, Lorrain, the 1st Respondent, appearing in person Mr Mo Kwong Wai, the 2nd Respondent, appearing in person Mr Roy Li Wai Huck, the 3rd Respondent, appearing in person |
