Summary

Tsang Kam Chuen, as administrator of Leung Kin's estate, sought possession of a flat at Wing Fai Building, Tung Choi Street, and the occupant Kwok Ka Ping counterclaimed for adverse possession. The court found Kwok failed to establish 20 years of uninterrupted adverse possession as she could not prove exclusive possession before 2002. Possession was granted to the plaintiff.
