New Development In The Falconer Winding-Up Case: Counter-Offer Made

Hearing in the petition for the winding-up of Messrs George Falconer and Co. (HK) Ltd before the Acting Chief Justice, Mr Justice T. J. Gould in the Supreme Court this morning was abruptly interrupted by the announcement by Mr Brook A. Bernacchi, leading Counsel for the petitioner that a counter-offer had just been handed to him by Mr R. W. S. Winter, Counsel for Mr J. B. Ipekdjian and Mr W. H. M. Seymour, individual shareholders of Falconer's, who are among those opposing the petition.

#

The interruption came as Mr A. J. Clifford, Counsel for Falconer's, was con- tinuing his cross-examination of Mr J. J. O. King, the petitioner.

Apologising for the interruption, Mr Bernacchi told the Court that # counter-offer had been handed to him and after the one or two points had been clarified by Mr Winter out of Court a moment or so ago, Counsel said that as the counter-offer stood, they felt, as the petitioner's legal advisors that it was acceptable to them.

"Subject therefore to seeing our client on it we feel that these proposals can happily put an end to the present proceedings," Mr Bernacchi declared.
