The decisive finding was that the Hong Kong Bank passbook and transaction pattern established that the deceased provided the purchase money for the TST shop; no reliable evidence proved the alleged oral trust in favour of the Plaintiff or that the monies were the 2nd Defendant's; therefore the legal title remains as held and the deceased's estate is entitled to its half of the shop and to rents accrued in his lifetime, with future rents to be split according to legal ownership from the 1st Defendant's death.
