- DCCJ10728/2001
Judge found on the facts that both Shanghai and Beijing premises remained at the company's disposal and were used so that K & E Company Limited was liable for unpaid rent; Mr To had authority to bind K & E by virtue of his seniority and apparent authority; the Board was aware of Mr Chuang's landlord status and disclosure requirements were substantially complied with so leases were not voidable; no estoppel was proved; accordingly judgment for plaintiffs for the claimed rents except the February 2001 Beijing claim which was dismissed; third party claims against Mr Chuang and Mr To failed.
