WAN KONG SANG v. WONG KA SEK AND ANOTHER

Citation

[2018] HKCFI 960
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCB3346/2017

The court held the trustee's overall assessment was reasonable but allowed a small adjustment: increase personal travelling allowance and reduce the required monthly contribution from HK$2,000 to HK$1,700. The trustee's decision to require the bankrupt to bear only 25% of the mother's combined maintenance/domestic helper expenses was reasonable given siblings are employed; the TiB decision is reversed in part and otherwise confirmed.
