Hong Kong rejects weak set-off link
Lloyd, H.
Hong Kong rejects weak set-off link - 1992 - Building 257(7743) 1 May 1992, 30(1) .
The right to set-off or withhold monies claimed, in order to cover sums due under another contract has been explored by the courts in Hong Kong, as statutory law is ill-defined. Connecting factors between the two contracts were, in this case, deemed insufficient for the government to retain money due from a contract dispute four years earlier.
