NG AU YUEN NGAR, PAMELA v. NG KIT LING AND OTHERS

Petitioner failed to prove, on the required degree of conviction, that Douglas had any beneficial interest in Inter Marine, Joyfine or the Convention Plaza Flat; CNAC's HK$8 million was a loan to Joyfine/Chan with no evidential link to Douglas; payments from Douglas to Chan were loans/repayments unrelated to the Flat; therefore the execution claim against the 2nd,3rd and 4th respondents fails and must be dismissed.
