BRAVE SKY MORTGAGE LTD v. CHAN YUK PING AGNES

BRAVE SKY MORTGAGE LTD v. CHAN YUK PING AGNES

The borrower failed to raise any triable issues: documentary and conduct evidence showed coherent, rational exercise of ownership rights and repeated repayments that amount to affirmation of the transactions; no evidence the mortgagee had notice of any incapacity or misrepresentation at the times of the transactions; late additional evidence was unjustified and inadmissible; as a secured creditor the mortgagee may proceed despite the pending bankruptcy petition; accordingly judgment entered for the mortgagee in HCMP 928/2024 and the mirror HCA 451/2025 claims were struck out as frivolous/abusive; successful parties awarded costs on indemnity basis and summarily assessed.

Court Disposition

HCMP 928/2024: Judgment for the Mortgagee allowing relief sought in the originating summons; HCA 451/2025: Plaintiff's claims struck out against D1 to D5 as scandalous, frivolous and/or vexatious and an abuse of process.
