QUESTION

My partner and I run a company (LTD) in Hong Kong. We’ve been a bit behind on our bills and most likely the company will be taken to court to pay late fees and penalties.

My partner is due to receive his Right of Abode in July.

Would such court cases affect his Hong Kong PR status application?
