    YEUNG KIT LAM and Another v. LAU YIU SHING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP3392/1994

    The court held that the evidence (solemn declaration and probabilities) rebutted any presumption of a resulting trust because Leung intended to transfer all his interest; further, any claim that might have arisen is statute-barred under s.20 as the fraud exception cannot be invoked to disturb the title of innocent purchasers, and therefore the defendant has shown good title as to the requisition and the plaintiffs' summons is dismissed.
