1. This is a very unfortunate case. The late Yip Keung (“the deceased”) had a principal wife, Madam Yam and a concubine, Madam Ho. He and Madam Yam had 5 children, namely the five defendants. On the other hand, Madam Ho, whom the defendants prefer to refer to as a “mistress” of their father, has only borne him 1 child, namely the plaintiff. The plaintiff is younger than the 1 st to 4 th defendants, but older than the 5 th defendant.
