    Citation
    LINDE HKO LTD v. LAI YUK KEI AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA2371/2014

    The 3rd defendant's intentional transport, storage and delivery of the plaintiff's HKO cylinders to be refilled by a third party went beyond mere ministerial handling and materially interfered with the plaintiff's proprietary rights; he failed to prove he could not reasonably have known the cylinders belonged to the plaintiff, therefore he facilitated conversion and final judgment on the conversion claim was justified.
