case Hong Kong English original

Kam Leung Sui Kwan v. Kam Kwan Lai

Yung Kee decision on winding up a foreign holding company with a sufficient Hong Kong connection after a family-company shareholder dispute.

Use It For

Use this with Ebrahimi and Chinese dissolution materials to compare close-company deadlock where the holding company is incorporated offshore but the business is in Hong Kong.

Teaching Notes

The case is helpful for separating the merits of shareholder breakdown from the threshold jurisdictional question of whether the Hong Kong court should wind up a foreign company.
