LAU WING KIN v. LEUNG SIU CHING

Citation

[2026] HKCFI 1812
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAP3/2019

On the evidence the court found the December 2016 will was validly executed, the Deceased had knowledge and approved its contents and the defendant failed to prove fraudulent calumny or lack of knowledge and approval; although the September 2016 will was procured by undue influence from Auntie, that finding does not revive the September will because the December 2016 will is valid and is therefore pronounced in solemn form.

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1210/2015

The Court set aside both substituted service orders and the default judgments because the plaintiff failed to make full and frank disclosure in obtaining substituted service (material nondisclosure of an alternative known address and other material facts), and the defendants demonstrated a real prospect of success on the merits such that the default judgments should be set aside and defendants granted leave to defend.

Citation

CHAN YUK PUI v. CHAN YUI CHI AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1222/2013

Although the Plaintiff initiated the gifts and understood their legal effect, the Court found that the Defendants acted in concert, preferred their own interests, concealed the Will and designated donees to prevent the Plaintiff changing his mind, and that CK Chan & Co failed to safeguard the Plaintiff by not advising independent advice and overlooking a conflict of interest; those concerted actions constituted actual undue influence sufficient to set aside the Deeds of Gift and restore the interests to the Plaintiff.
