- DCCJ1577/2007
On the balance of probabilities the court found that the $900,000 pension was validly gifted by the deceased sister (Siu Fung) to the plaintiff (Chan Siu Lin) by transfer into the joint account coupled with declarations and conduct evidencing intention; therefore the $200,000 paid on 15 August 2003 was made from funds belonging to the plaintiff and, on the plaintiff's credible evidence, was a loan to the defendant repayable on demand. The defendant failed to prove the contrary (that the payment was a gift by the deceased).
