Hong Kong courts are not bound by PRC notarial certificates or by the Heungchow District Peoples Court judgment as conclusive on entitlement to immovable property in Hong Kong; determination of kinship and succession to Hong Kong immovables is exclusively for the courts of the lex situs (Hong Kong), so the kin enquiry must proceed and the defendants succeed on the preliminary issues.
