The court found on the facts that the Defendant was informally adopted and treated as a son of Tang Sek Fuk, had not elected or acted so as to 'return' to the Chim family, and therefore remained entitled to succeed to the Po Sum Pai lots; accordingly the Plaintiff's claim for declaration and vesting order failed. The court declined to decide estoppel as a substantive remedy because that would require exercising a discretion inconsistent with the primary findings.
