CHEN CHERYL DEANNA AND OTHERS v. CHEN PAK-YIN STELLA also known as STELLA LEE

Citation

CHEN CHERYL DEANNA AND OTHERS v. CHEN PAK-YIN STELLA also known as STELLA LEE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1890/2016

Leave to appeal was refused because the plaintiffs lacked locus to pursue claims on behalf of the deceased or his estate (the administrator is the proper party), the pleadings did not particularise any specific wrongful conduct by the defendant to support claims such as undue influence or dishonest exercise of the power, and thus the intended appeal had no reasonable prospect of success.

Citation

LAM WAI TUNG v. LEE SHING AND OTHERS

The trial judge's findings that the Authorisation was fabricated and that the plaintiff's signatures on the transfer documents were forged were sustained on appeal; those findings entitled the plaintiff to relief irrespective of conspiracy, and the declarations and order to rectify the register (that the board had not approved transfer of the 40,000 shares) were correctly made; the appeal is dismissed.
