    HCA6727/1983

    The April 1982 transfer was a sham and was not known to, consented by or acquiesced in by the landlord; defendant Chan remained the tenant and was liable for arrears, management fees, electricity, agreed repair costs (less tenant fixtures) and one month's mesne profits after re‑entry; defendant Ho was an unauthorised occupant/trespasser and liable for one month's mesne profits; the salvage counterclaim failed for lack of entitlement and removal delay rendered salvage negligible.
