Michael Pang

, founder of the ICE Group of companies and Vice-President of Production of ICE Group since 2018. Previously he was the Vice-President for Export. He speaks to the factual evidence in the Defendants’ Amended Defence and Counterclaim of 18 November 2021 and the Defendants’ Response to C’s Part 18 Request dated 5 May 2022, although he did not sign them for the Defendants. Those were signed by Mr Simon Chen, CEO for D1 and Mr Schless for D2. He also provided a witness statement. Mr Pang attended court and was cross-examined. I am satisfied that he gave honest evidence to the best of his ability but much of what I am concerned with he had no direct involvement with. It became apparent that Mr Pang did not know very much about what was happening in the UK with the ICE Group’s distributors at the relevant time. He was also not at key meetings. It may have been more helpful to have heard from Mr Chen, but I am grateful to Mr Pang for travelling to the UK and providing the evidence that he did.ii)
