R U L I N G

________________________

1. These are my very brief reasons for declining to grant an interim interim injunction today. As a matter of principle, as the Court of Appeal held in the China Shanshui Cement Group Ltd case [2018] HKCA 409, at paragraph 13:

“...interim interim relief is meant to be an urgent temporary stop-gap measure and the circumstances were such that the court has to do practical justice on the balance of fairness even though it may not have sufficient time to consider the matter fully…”

2. In this particular case, first, I am not satisfied, as the matter stands, that there are serious issues to be tried and, more importantly, on the evidence, I am not satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to suggest a real risk that there will be further allotment of the shares in the 1st defendant.

3. In the circumstances, I do not see any urgency as such which requires the grant of an interim interim injunction pending the hearing of the injunction application.

(Paul Lam SC)

Mr Adrian Lai, instructed by F Zimmern & Co, for the 1st defendant
