    Given the short childless marriage, the husband’s greater premarital wealth and inadequate disclosure, the court attributed a proportioned marital acquest from property profits (one third) and awarded the wife a clean break lump sum of HK$5,000,000 to reflect (a) her 50% share of the attributable property profit (approx HK$2.35m), (b) a limited share of increase in business assets given incomplete disclosure, and (c) needs and limited compensation for loss of career opportunity.
