The court accepted the husband had, on balance, satisfactorily accounted for the disposal of the compensation and found the only substantial asset to be the matrimonial home (market value ~HK$1.8m). Balancing the wife and child's need for housing and the husband’s age, disability and entitlement to a fair share, the just order was transfer of the property to the wife in return for a lump sum payment of HK$400,000 to the husband; ancillary claims otherwise dismissed and each party to bear their own costs except petitioner's legal aid costs to be taxed.
