Under the equitable maxim of clean hands, a court will examine the conduct, in the transaction or arrangement which is the subject of the suit, of the party seeking relief: Re HY & HT Lee Brothers & Co Ltd (HCCW 275/99, unreported). A petitioner who relies on the just and equitable ground must come to the court with clean hands: Re Trocadero Ltd [1988] 2 HKLR 443. The clean hands doctrine is not an overriding requirement, it only applies when the party’s misconduct forms the basis for or is directly related to the relief sought: Re Brio Technology International Ltd [2000] 3 HKC 536; Yeung Bun v Brio Technology International Ltd [2000] 2 HKLRD 218.
