The payment of $200,000 by Yew Chung on 11 December 2013 was a repayment by Yew Chung of its contractual obligation under a debenture to the plaintiff, not a payment by the deceased or his agent 'in respect of' the deceased's indebtedness; therefore it did not constitute a part payment under s.23(3) Limitation Ordinance and could not revive the limitation period, so the action was time-barred and the striking out was correct.
