- Tan Kok Pooh, The Administrator of the Estate of Tan Su Chin, Deceased and Others v. Leong Foong Yin
High Court CFI · 2026-06-29 · Property / Land
The dispute concerns a North Point flat purchased by the late Tan Su Chin in 1983. On 8 April 2004, the Deceased executed a Will and a Deed of Gift on the same day at Messrs S K Wong & Lee. The Deed of Gift assigned the Property to himself and the Defendant, Leong Foong Yin, as joint tenants. The Will bequeathed the Deceased's Hong Kong estate in three equal shares to his three sons from his marriage to Madam Nah. After the Deceased died in 2019, his children from Madam Nah (the Plaintiffs) sought to set aside the Deed of Gift for mistake or non est factum, alleging an "Arrangement" under which D would receive only 50% of the beneficial interest. D counterclaimed for possession, the title deeds, keys, and mesne profits.
