Citation

JIANGMEN CHAO CHENG THREAD CO. LTD. v. NG SIU LUN AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA219/2000

The judge found the evidence of holding out by Ms Lau was not credible and preferred the evidence of Ms Lau and her son; the Confirmation Note and other documents signed in managerial capacity did not establish partnership by holding out; Mr Ng admitted goods belonged to the Factory, so as the registered sole proprietor he was liable for the outstanding debt; the plaintiff's claim against Ms Lau was dismissed.
