________________
Hon Mayo VP (giving the judgment of the Court):
1. The present appeal is dismissed. This is because the Official Receiver informs us that she never consented to the appeal being proceeded with. We make an order that the Petitioner is to have the costs of the appeal and Messrs Y.T. Szeto & Co. the solicitors who until yesterday were representing the Respondent should show cause within 14 days why they should not personally defray these costs.
2. Mr Tam will need to consider whether the directors wish to prosecute an appeal. If that is the case, they need leave to lodge the appeal out of time and to proceed with the appeal.
