Protesters occupying the plaza under HSBC Holdings Plc’s Hong Kong headquarters were given two weeks to respond to the bank’s lawsuit asking for permission to remove them.
Master K. Lo at Hong Kong’s Court of First Instance today set Aug. 13 for the next hearing of the case against the nine-month protest, one of the longest-running demonstrations sparked by the Occupy Wall Street movement. HSBC had requested occupiers leave voluntarily on May 29 and wants to clear the area for a number of community events, bank spokesman Gareth Hewett said earlier.
