The trial judge accepted the defendant's account and contemporaneous documentary evidence that the CASP was a sale and purchase and that the defendant paid HK$950,000; on that factual basis the plaintiff held only the legal title on trust for the defendant and specific performance to effect transfer was appropriate subject to government/lessor rights, payment of additional land premium and District Officer consent; the Court of Appeal found those factual findings were not plainly wrong and dismissed the appeal.
