Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1684/2020

Defendant removed because he failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for prolonged non-distribution after the executor's year, kept confusing and mixed accounts despite late professional assistance, had been in a position of potential conflict of interest, and an irretrievable breakdown in relations with beneficiaries made continued administration by him untenable; an independent professional (Mr David Lin) appointed in his place to secure due and proper administration.
