    The court accepted plaintiffs' account as to the 2005 family discussions and the contemporaneous 2005 will, found that plaintiffs supplied the purchase monies and paid outgoings, and concluded it would be unconscionable for the defendant to repudiate the shared common intention; accordingly from 2005 beneficial ownership differed from legal title and the defendant holds the property on constructive trust for the plaintiffs.

    HO YUNG HON v. HO KAM CHEUNG AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of First Instance

    The court found that the 1st and 2nd defendants exercised dominance and control over the elderly plaintiff producing both presumed and actual undue influence, that the defendants failed to prove the conveyance was a genuine gift or sale, and therefore the April 1999 conveyance (and related dispositions) are set aside.
