The court found on the balance of probabilities that the 1947 Chinese modern marriage between Fung senior and Mdm Lee was valid and that there was no satisfactory evidence that Fung senior and Mdm Chow were validly married in 1949; additionally Mdm Chow had made material misrepresentations in her affirmation and thus the 2008 grant was improperly obtained and must be revoked; as between the parties the plaintiff was the more appropriate person to administer the estate; the counterclaim was dismissed except insofar as an ancillary order concerning the legitimacy of Mdm Chow's children was made.
