- HCAP31/2018
The March 2012 will was valid and represented the deceased's testamentary intentions; the defendants failed to raise a real doubt as to testamentary capacity and did not establish lack of knowledge and approval, absence of animus testandi, or fraudulent calumny. The court preferred the plaintiffs' expert evidence (Dr Choi) over the defendants' (Dr Chung), found key witnesses unreliable on many points but accepted essential contemporaneous evidence and solicitor involvement, pronounced the March 2012 will in solemn form, granted probate to Yip Sau Ching and dismissed the counterclaim.
