    LEUNG CHI MAN v. MOK SAU LIM
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV215/2005

    The Court upheld the Recorder's factual findings that the plaintiff had relinquished his claim (or was estopped) in consideration of being released from obligations to maintain the defendant and to contribute further to the family flat; there was no pleaded misappropriation to support tracing relief; the Recorder correctly refused deductions from the pond-property legacy for Charming Garden mortgage except insofar as equitable interest arose from plaintiff's contributions; appellate intervention was unwarranted and the appeal is dismissed.
