Louis Koo’s production firm disputes HK$149m lawsuit, says claim ‘incomplete’

Hong Kong film actor and director Louis Koo Tin-lok’s production company has rejected allegations that it owes HK$149 million (US$19 million) in outstanding debts to an offshore firm, saying the claim is incomplete and violates confidentiality principles.In a statement published on social media on Friday, One Cool Film Production said the civil lawsuit lodged by Sino Hero Ventures on Wednesday had concealed crucial details about a HK$70 million loan extended to Koo’s film production business in September 2019.“The case presented by the plaintiff is incomplete. In particular, the plaintiff did not reveal the fact that [it] had been removed from the company registry and dissolved for nearly three years, during which we could not contact its authorised personnel,” the statement said.
