香港法院下令凍結俏江南創始人資產
CVC Capital has secured a court order freezing the assets of a flamboyant Chinese restaurant owner who sold a majority stake in her company to the European private equity group last year for $300m.
CVC Capital已獲得了一項凍結一名中國餐飲集團老闆資產的法院命令。這名老闆行事張揚，去年將自己公司的多數股權作價3億美元出售給CVC這家歐洲私人股本集團。The order, granted on March 6, was directed against Zhang Lan and two other respondents, Grand Lan Holdings Group (BVI) Limited and South Beauty Development Limited.
法院在3月6日發出的命令針對張蘭和另外兩個被告，即Grand Lan Holdings Group (BVI) Limited和俏江南發展有限公司(South Beauty Development Limited)。
Last April, CVC said it had taken an 83 per cent stake in Ms Zhang’s South Beauty restaurant chain, but the two parties are now involved in an arbitration case.
去年4月，CVC宣佈獲得張蘭旗下的俏江南(South Beauty)餐飲連鎖企業83%的股份，但現在雙方捲入了一起仲裁案。
In giving reasons for his decision to grant the order, Hong Kong High Court Justice Andrew Chung rejected Ms Zhang’s argument that there was “insufficient evidence of a real risk of dissipation of assets”.
香港高等法院(Hong Kong High Court)法官鍾安德(Justice Andrew Chung)在解釋其授予這一命令的決定時，駁回了張蘭關於“沒有充分證據證明存在資產散失的切實風險”的主張。Justice Chung instead noted that “very substantial sums had been paid by [CVC] and it is still unknown where those sums now are . . . Money is, of course, a relatively liquid form of asset.”
相反，鍾安德法官指出，“（CVC）已經支付了極爲可觀的款項，至今仍無從得知這些款項的下落……錢當然是一種流動性較強形式的資產。”The injunction was granted to La Dolce Vita Fine Dining Company, a CVC investment vehicle, and will remain in force pending a forthcoming hearing. Justice Chung also ordered the respondents to disclose certain information.
這一禁制令被授予CVC的投資工具——甜蜜生活美食集團(La Dolce Vita Fine Dining Company)，並將在下一次開庭之前持續有效。法官還下令被告披露某些信息。In giving the reasons for his decision, Justice Chung did not reveal details of the dispute between CVC and Ms Zhang.
法官在爲自己的決定提供理由時，並未透露CVC與張蘭之間的糾紛細節。
