Summary

Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Limited was granted leave to appeal on the question of whether the Hong Kong court should exercise winding-up jurisdiction over foreign companies when the claimed 'benefit' arises only from the leverage of threatened winding-up rather than the winding-up order itself. The case raised important questions about the jurisdictional basis for winding up foreign companies. The appeal was listed for hearing.
