    On the facts the 4th defendant failed to prove undue influence; although the bank was put on inquiry, the primary issue disposed the claim — absence of proven undue influence — therefore the Legal Charge was enforceable against the 4th defendant; the bank was entitled to contractual interest at 11.125% p.a. from 2 July 2002 to 5 December 2002 on the stated sum and judgment interest thereafter under s.49 HCO; the 4th defendant's counterclaim to rescind the charge is dismissed.

    CHAN KA MING v. SZE KUNG YEE AND ANOTHER

    Citation
    CHAN KA MING v. SZE KUNG YEE AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA215/2009

    The court found no implied pay-when-paid term in the Cooperation Agreement or Rental Agreements because the criteria for implication were not met; there was no effective assignment of rental debts; Mr Chan did not remove valuable assets and the auction was conducted openly by an independent auctioneer so no prejudice to guarantors was proved; absent expert valuation evidence the defence that guarantors were discharged failed; consequently judgment was entered for Hua Ning for rental arrears and for Mr Chan against Mr Sze and Best Leader for the adjusted loan amount plus interest and costs.
