- Case number
- DCCJ2610/2006
On the evidence including uncontested expert evidence of Chinese customary law, two co-managers appointed to a Tso exercise joint authority and the death of one does not automatically vest full managerial powers in the survivor; there was no properly convened majority decision of the Tso to appoint the surviving manager as sole manager after Yuk Hon's death, therefore Lai Chuen lacked authority to terminate the tenancies or commence possession proceedings and the tenants were entitled to challenge his authority.
