Grounds of decision

Official text from eLitigation

  1. Woo Bih Li J:

  2. Background

  3. [1] The plaintiff is the elder brother of the defendant. He claimed the net sale proceeds of a Housing and Development Board flat in McNair Road from the defendant on the basis that the defendant held that property in trust for him (the plaintiff).

  4. [2] The defendant disputed this. Alternatively, he relied on ss 51(4) and (5) of the Housing and Development Act (Cap 129, 1997 Rev Ed) (“HDA”) to defeat the plaintiff’s claim on the basis that any such trust was null and void.

  5. [3] Further details are contained in my judgment of 23 February 2011.

  6. The defendant’s appeal

  7. [5] The plaintiff has appealed against my substantive decision to the Court of Appeal.
