IP KU MEA WAH v. IP KING CHO
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV114/1990

Given the inadequacy of factual findings and mutual nondisclosure of financial resources, the Court of Appeal held that the judge's orders for immediate sale of the Mei Foo flat, eviction and a lump sum (orders 1–3) were unjustified and should be set aside; orders for nominal maintenance, periodical payments for children and costs below were to remain in force, and costs of the appeal were to be left to the parties (order nisi) with legal aid taxation for the husband's costs.
