Judge found on the balance of probabilities that the funds used to purchase the HKD 3,000,000 cashier's order derived from sale proceeds of shares beneficially owned by the deceased father, not the plaintiff; contemporaneous records and conduct supported father's beneficial ownership and intention to gift; plaintiff's evidence was inherently implausible and unreliable; therefore the cashier's order was a gift from father to defendant and the plaintiff's claim for repayment fails.
