The presumption of resulting trust applied because the defendants provided the purchase funds and the plaintiff failed to rebut that presumption on the balance of probabilities; contemporaneous evidence and witness credibility favoured the defendants, so the plaintiff held the share on resulting trust and defendants were not liable to pay the claimed HK$430,000; additionally the court found the HK$450,000 paid by the 3rd defendant satisfied any claim in any event.
