(Reuters) – China Evergrande said on Monday that a court in Hong Kong had ordered one of its key offshore units to be wound up, the latest in a slew of legal victories for the embattled developer’s liquidators.

The liquidators had filed a winding-up petition against company subsidiary CEG Holdings BVI in September, in a bid to recover funds from the debt-laden property company that defaulted in 2021 and triggered China’s real estate market crisis.

Evergrande, the world’s most indebted property developer with more than $300 billion of liabilities, was ordered by the Hong Kong High Court in January 2024 to liquidate after it failed to offer a concrete restructuring plan for its $23 billion offshore debt.

The firm’s liquidators —…

SINGAPORE – A private-hire driver made off with the driving licences of two men, one of whom was his passenger, and tampered with the documents, replacing their particulars with his own.
