    柯 v. 龔
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC12807/2013

    There was insufficient, cogent evidence to identify recoverable family assets or to justify drawing adverse inferences from non‑production of documents in the context of an antecedent bankruptcy; consequently no monetary ancillary relief could be made to meet the Wife's claims; however nominal maintenance of HK$1 per annum was appropriate to preserve rights and a Section 18 declaration was granted; costs reserved but no order except respondent's own costs to be taxed under Legal Aid Regulations.
