03/02/2025
The Hong Kong Court has handed down its first trial judgment on fraudulent trading under section 275 of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance. The case involved fraudulent loan applications by a former officer of two companies, leading to declarations and a substantial judgment sum of over US$39 million in favour of the liquidators.

This decision offers valuable guidance for liquidators in navigating such claims.
