The court accepted the Plaintiff's evidence and the independent witness (Sihoe) as credible and found the Defendant's account inherently incredible where it contradicted the Plaintiff. Contemporaneous documents (receipts and IRD notifications) describing the sums as "consultancy fee" were treated as admissions. The payments of HK$150,000 were held to have been made pursuant to the Consultancy Agreement, the Defendant's counterclaim was dismissed, and judgment was entered for the Plaintiff for HK$475,000 with interest at judgment rate from 13 March 2008 until satisfaction.
