The plaintiff discharged the burden of proof on the balance of probabilities by producing objective evidence (the signed Receipt and Acknowledgment to Pay and a video recording) and credible testimony establishing that loans totalling HK$150,000 were advanced and acknowledged; the defendant failed to prove duress and therefore the acknowledgment was valid, leaving an outstanding balance of HK$92,000 (HK$150,000 less HK$58,000 repaid).
