Court

Family Court
Case number

FCMC13902/2017

On the balance of probabilities the Petitioner (TKF) is the legal and beneficial owner of the 101 Stone Seals: contemporaneous documentary assertions in the published Book and a Letter drafted from her room, together with her demonstrated expertise and possession of the seals in Hong Kong (2010–2012), outweighed bare assertions to the contrary and established ownership; inconsistencies in oral evidence did not displace the documentary weight.
