The Tribunal upheld the original decision and dismissed the review: the alleged oral promise was not a clear, certain, enforceable grant (a tenancy 'until death' is void for uncertainty and not recognized as a proprietary estate in Hong Kong), it lacked fresh consideration and is subject to s.6(1) Cap.219; the promise was not clear and did not induce detrimental reliance; the proposed fresh audio evidence fails Ladd v Marshall criteria and does not demonstrate error; a clerical correction to the law firm name was made but is immaterial to outcome.
