The Court of Appeal held the trial judge erred in fact by misapprehending when the vendor's representative learned the purchaser's identity; on correct assessment the defendants did act in reliance on the agent's misrepresentation and rescinded the agreements, so the plaintiff was not entitled to enforce the liquidated damages claims and the defendants' counterclaims succeeded; the appeal was allowed, the lower judgment set aside and judgment entered for the defendants on their counterclaims for HKD 150,000 each with interest and costs.
