DAY IN COURT FOR BRILLIANCE

Minibus maker Brilliance China Automotive Holdings announced yesterday a court hearing before the Supreme Court of Bermuda, over the ownership dispute with former chairman Yang Rong, has been adjourned until tomorrow for a full day hearing. Brilliance China will seek to prove its state-ownership status to prevent claims by Mr Yang, as well as attempting to have struck out a court order restraining the firm from transferring its controlling stake to a Liaoning provincial government-owned firm.
