The court found on the evidence that the parties agreed rent would commence 15 June 2018 and the HK$240,000 paid was advance payment of two months' rent; there were no arrears on 2 August 2018; the defendant therefore had no right of lien and wrongfully detained the plaintiff's machines (conversion) until 27 August; consequentially plaintiff's claims for deliver-up and conversion succeed (damages nominal) and all parts of the defendant's counterclaim fail.
