The trial, which will begin on Tuesday, stems from a collective action brought forth via POA Recovery - a special purpose vehicle set up to help investors from different legal jurisdictions recover alleged damages - against Yau Kwok Seng, Capital Asia Group (CAG) and Capital Asia Group Oil Management.
