    TSANG LING MAN v. TSANG TSE KIN

    Citation
    TSANG LING MAN v. TSANG TSE KIN
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA10785/1999

    Plaintiff's adverse possession plea fails because he did not prove exclusive factual possession or animus possidendi for the requisite period; plaintiff did not prove that Madam Tsang validly renounced the beneficiaries' interest; consequently plaintiff's claim is dismissed. Defendant's request for a vesting order is dismissed on procedural grounds because necessary beneficiaries were not before the court, but an account of rents and payments from the plaintiff to the estate is ordered; costs awarded to defendant.
