    CHAN SAU HEUNG v. KWAN SIU FAI

    Citation
    CHAN SAU HEUNG v. KWAN SIU FAI
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2620/2012

    The Grant was revoked and a fresh grant ordered to the plaintiff because the defendant had shown himself unfit and uncooperative, had refused to administer the estate and to lodge the Grant with the court, creating a real risk of further delay; removal alone would not ensure timely administration because the defendant would likely fail to lodge the Grant, therefore revocation and a fresh grant upon the plaintiff's retraction of renunciation and compliance with formalities was necessary; indemnity costs were awarded against the defendant personally.
