The court found Ho was under undue influence by Lam and Bevan; the Plaintiff bank was affected because the relationship was non-commercial and the bank had constructive notice or sufficient suspicion to put it on inquiry and it failed to make requisite inquiries or obtain independent advice for Ho; accordingly the legal charges are avoidable by Ho and the Plaintiff cannot enforce them against her; third party claims against the solicitor were dismissed on the facts before the court.
