Core Viewpoint - The Hong Kong High Court has approved China Evergrande Group's application to change the injunction, allowing it to initiate legal proceedings against Ding Yumei, the ex-wife of Xu Jiayin, in multiple jurisdictions to enforce claims on over $220 million in overseas assets [1][3]. Group 1: Legal Proceedings and Asset Recovery - The court's decision stems from Evergrande's jurisdiction variation summons submitted on September 27, 2024, which sought to expand the legal reach beyond Hong Kong, the UK, the Cayman Islands, and the British Virgin Islands [1]. - Ding Yumei has acknowledged holding multiple assets valued at no less than £150,000 in jurisdictions including the UK, Jersey, Gibraltar, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, and mainland China [3]. - Evergrande's lawyers have notified banks in Hong Kong and the UK regarding the injunctions to facilitate the freezing of Ding Yumei's accounts [3]. Group 2: Asset Details and Financial Implications - The assets identified include CAD 100 million (approximately RMB 503 million) in the Royal Bank of Canada, USD 71 million (approximately RMB 503 million) in a Singapore bank, USD 57.6 million (approximately RMB 408 million) in a Gibraltar bank, and £675,000 (approximately RMB 6.3 million) in a Jersey bank, totaling over $220 million [3]. - The High Court noted Ding Yumei's non-cooperative stance towards legal proceedings, complicating Evergrande's ability to verify compliance with the injunctions [4]. Group 3: Court's Rationale and Previous Judgments - The court referenced the Dadourian guidelines, emphasizing that Ding Yumei's non-cooperation reinforced the risk of asset dissipation, justifying the need for the injunction [8]. - The High Court had previously issued a global injunction against Xu Jiayin, prohibiting the disposal of assets valued up to $7.7 billion (approximately RMB 55 billion) [8]. - Xu Jiayin was ordered to disclose all assets valued at no less than HKD 50,000, but he failed to comply, leading to the appointment of a liquidator for his assets [8].
