Judge Rules Winding-Up Petitioners May Be Cross-Examined
Mr Justice Reece in the Bankruptcy Court this morning granted
an application to cross-examine petitioners in the winding-up proceedings, of the Ching Siong Land Investment Co. Ltd but directed that such cross- examination must be at the close of all the evidence in the case.
The application was made by Mr Brook A. Bernacchi appearing for the Company. It was opposed by Mr John McNeill, QC, representing the petitioners, Kwik Siang-kie, merchant, and Chan Hing-wan, widow.
When the decision was announced, Mr Bernacchi said that he pro- posed to delay his address after having the opportunity to cross-examine. Mr Poray Chen, appearing for Mr Chen explained that the Kwik Siang-go, managing direc- tor of Ching Slong, said that he intended to call evidence.
Mr Bernacchi said that he was not going to read the affidavit of Kwik Siong-go.
