Haiwen & Partners LLP has successfully represented the plaintiff in resisting an appeal against summary judgment in the High Court of Hong Kong in Wise Choice Ventures Limited v Huang Youlong HCA 2551/2024; [2026] HKCFI 6042. On 4 November 2026, the Court of First Instance dismissed businessman Mr Huang Youlong's appeal, upholding an order requiring him to pay HK$731,711,601, together with interest on HK$371,596,000 at the judgment rate until payment.

本案涉及黄有龙就其全资持有的公司发行的票据提供的个人担保。票据发行人未履行付款义务后，海问代表原告依据担保契据提起诉讼，并申请简易判决。2025年12月9日，法院聆案官作出有利于原告的简易判决，判令黄有龙支付上述款项，并剔除其反申索。有关该简易判决的详情，请参阅海问此前发布的新闻稿：海问·业绩︱海问在香港高等法院逾七亿港元争议中取得全面胜诉

The proceedings concern a personal guarantee given by Mr Huang in respect of notes issued by his wholly owned company. Following the issuer's failure to meet its payment obligations, Haiwen brought proceedings on the plaintiff's behalf under the deed of guarantee and applied for summary judgment. On 9 December 2025, the Master entered summary judgment for the plaintiff, ordering Mr Huang to pay the amount stated above, and struck out his counterclaim.

黄有龙其后提出上诉。在上诉程序中，海问团队围绕担保契据条款及相关证据，就涉及口头陈述及违约利息的两项核心抗辩提出针对性论证。法院认定相关抗辩并非真诚抗辩，亦不存在可供审理的争议，遂驳回上诉，维持原命令。法院亦作出暂准讼费命令，判令黄有龙承担原告的上诉讼费，以及其宽免制裁申请的讼费及因该申请而产生的讼费。

Mr Huang subsequently appealed. On appeal, the Haiwen team advanced focused submissions on the terms of the guarantee and the evidence, addressing the two central defences concerning alleged oral representations and default interest. The Court found no bona fide defence or triable issue and dismissed the appeal, upholding the original order.The Court also made an order nisi requiring Mr Huang to pay the plaintiff’s costs of the appeal and the costs of and occasioned by his application for relief from sanctions.
