On Saturday, Swire Group's two malls continued to have a passenger flow of less than 10%.

The court's "injunction hearing" was reported by ATV, TVB, and newspapers. ATV even used the "Swire dare not even prosecute, but dare to apply for an injunction, which itself represents their guilt."

There was a lot of discussion in Hong Kong.

On Sunday, Pacific Place and Taikoo City continue to have a passenger flow of less than 10%.

...

A new week,

Monday, August 27, 1992

The sky of Hong Kong Island is shrouded in haze.

The High Court building is solemn and solemn.

In the conference hall No. 3, the atmosphere was tense.

In the hall, wooden tables and chairs were arranged neatly, and the auditorium was already filled with reporters from all walks of life, as well as many citizens.

Because this case involves major public interests or high public attention, journalists and citizens must be present.

This is different from the nature of the "jury". The jury can affect the judgment, and this audition is just an audition.

soon,

Media representatives such as ATV, Five-Star Daily, Wenhui Po, Ta Kung Pao, and Xin Evening News entered the venue under the leadership of Guan Zu.

Behind them, the lawyer team.

There is also Swire Group, and its director Peng Lizhi and a group of lawyers have also taken seats.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Judge Feng Ye walked into the conference hall expressionlessly in a thick black robe.

Feng Ye, a native of Hong Kong Island, was born in a business family. He is 56 years old. He graduated from the Law Department of Hong Kong Island University in 1960 and was appointed as a judge of the Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong in 1980.

The whole audience suddenly became quiet.

"The hearing was held today to review the ban application submitted by Swire Group Co., Ltd. against ATV... (omitted)... New Evening News."

"Please state the reason for the application."

The chief lawyer of Swire Group immediately stood up: "Dear Judge Feng Ye, recently, ATV and other newspapers have spread false information about Swire Group through various channels such as TV programs and newspaper layout."

"But in fact, these so-called 'revealing' have no factual basis and are completely malicious fabrication."

"To avoid further expansion of the losses, we plead for the court to issue an injunction to stop the bad behavior of these media."

As he said that, he presented a stack of documents to Judge Feng Ye.

"This is the relevant reporting data we have collected and the analysis reports on these data are enough to prove their falseness."

Judge Feng Ye nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Guan Zu's side: "Application, what will you respond?"

Lin Liangshui, beside Guan Zu, stood up: "Judge Feng Ye, the information we spread about Swire Group has been obtained through in-depth investigations and interviews with experts and scholars, which fully confirmed Swire Group's improper behavior in history."

"These reports are not unreasonable speculation or malicious slander... This is a manifestation of press freedom and should not be blamed and restricted without reason."

Afterwards, he also presented a thick stack of materials, including historical documents, scholar research reports and interview records.

Many of the information in it were collected by Mr. Wu and his team for decades.

Of course, not the original.

I don't dare to use the original here.

The lawyers of Swire Group began to refute: "The other party's so-called 'evidence' was just taken out of context and misinterpreted. Those old materials cannot directly prove that they have a necessary connection with Swire Group..."

The two sides were back and forth, not giving in to each other, and the fierce debate echoed in the conference hall.

Thirty minutes...

One hour...

Two hours...

The reporters and citizens who were attending the audience could hear that this Taikoo could not provide any evidence. Guan Zu has a large amount of precious information to prove it, including the signatures and seals of piglets sold by the Taikoo company in the past.

After a long debate and evidence display, Judge Feng Ye announced a temporary recession.
