1. This is a very sad case. Two women, now in their 70s, both claim to be the mother of the late Dr Tsang Kwong Lik, for the purposes of administration and succession to his intestate estate. Madam Leung, the plaintiff, being the natural mother of the deceased, understandably asserts her entitlement on that basis. Madam Ho, the defendant, claims that she is the deceased’s “mother” under Chinese customary law and has been responsible for bringing him up. She makes her claim on that footing.
