The master’s orders were upheld: Tang’s challenges to the sale and assignment failed because (a) the Lands Department confirmed compliance with the New Grant, (b) as joint administrator Tang had statutory authority to sell under the PAO and Trustee Ordinance, (c) the alleged oral option was unproved, unenforceable by statute and inherently uncertain, and (d) Tang’s pleadings disclosed no bona fide defence or reasonable cause of action so striking out and summary judgment were appropriate; accordingly possession, mesne profits and indemnity costs were ordered.
