- Court
- District Court
- Case number
- DCCJ1992/2007
The Management Agreement was void for lack of valid authorising resolution (and non‑compliance with s20A did not render it illegal). Despite Homechant's dubious conduct, the owners derived a real financial benefit and did not effectively or reasonably reject the services; accordingly Homechant is entitled to reasonable remuneration on a quantum meruit basis. The court assessed and allowed specific items totalling HK$215,570.60, awarded interest and made a costs order reducing claimant's costs for conduct up to May 13, 2009.
