1. This is an application under each of the actions to set aside the writ of arrest and to strike out the writ itself on the basis that the plaintiff’s claim does not come within the requisite admiralty jurisdiction provided under the High Court Ordinance (Cap 4) (“the Ordinance”).  Alternatively, the defendant owners seek to set aside the warrant of arrest on the basis that there was material non-disclosure at the time when the application for writ of arrest was made before the ex parte judge.
