A protracted litigation in connection with the assets in Hong Kong of the Russo-Asintic Bank reached a fur- ther stage when an application was made to the Full Court of Appeal, for un order. for adjournment, in order to allow the Shanghai creditors time in which to obtain evidence to support their alleged preferential claims.
