    Judge found plaintiff failed to prove payment was made under duress; accepted 1st Defendant's account that the parties reached a September Agreement whereby the plaintiff offered to pay HK$700,000 in exchange for the 1st Defendant abandoning an arguable beneficial interest and vacating the property, constituting valid consideration; 2nd Defendant was an innocent agent who received and passed on the funds and is not liable; accordingly claims dismissed and costs awarded to defendants.
