    Citation
    LAM KEUNG v. LAM SHU SANG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP525/2013

    The court relied on uncontradicted contemporaneous documentary evidence (identity documents, birth certificates, the full Divisional Memorial and statutory declaration) and the absence of any grant on the Probate Registry to conclude that the identity of the deceased and the factual matrix concerning the registered land were established, thereby justifying judicial intervention to determine rights in the registered land in the absence of probate.
