    HCA1612/2010

    The court accepted evidence that the plaintiff knew of the user restriction (advised by consultant Wong and from landlord interactions) before entering the tenancy and therefore did not rely on any alleged misrepresentation; plaintiff repudiated the tenancy by failing to pay rent and fees, defendant validly set off the HK$66,000 deposit and is entitled to the balance of arrears with interest and costs; plaintiff's claim dismissed.
