Wilson Leung has written an article for ThoughtLeaders 4 FIRE Magazine Issue 11 - Year in Review 2022.

The article reviews the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal’s recent judgment in Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Ltd v Arjowiggins HKK 2 Ltd [2022] HKCFA 11, [2022] 5 HKC 318, where the court adopted a liberal approach to the second “core requirement” for the winding-up of a foreign company (that winding-up must be of “benefit” to the petitioner). The court held that commercial leverage created by the prospect of a winding-up order could amount to such benefit.
