    HCMC6/1991

    Because the petitioner was found to have engaged in deliberate, obstructive and contemptuous conduct and to have failed to make full and frank disclosure, the court drew adverse inferences about her wealth and, having regard to statutory factors and the children's needs, ordered the petitioner to pay specified lump sums: HK$7.2 million to the respondent for his immediate maintenance/rehabilitation and US$426,000 to be held on trust for the education and welfare of Te-ming; the court declined to make provision for the respondent's potential US litigation liabilities.
