    Citation
    WSW v. CKU
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV249/2015

    The Court of Appeal dismissed the respondent’s appeal: the trial judge did not make a computing error, was entitled to treat the specified China properties as loss-making and to impute undisclosed assets of HK$5,000,000 given the evidence of expenditure and non-disclosure, and was entitled to take into account the respondent’s real prospect of inheritance; consequently fairness supported each party retaining their own assets with joint properties sold and proceeds divided equally under a clean break.
