The Court found the plaintiff failed to prove, by the clear and cogent evidence required for allegations of grave fraud, that the agent forged or procured the change to the beneficiary or that there was a conspiracy with Lau; the agent Chan was accepted as a credible witness and the probabilities supported a genuine change of beneficiary; accordingly the change of beneficiary form dated 15 December 1993 was valid and effective and Lau Chup Hei was entitled to the policy proceeds.
