|
||
of 12 years and thus did not have the necessary animus possidendi or adverse possession.

result: Abandoned by the Plaintiff. The court noted that the Plaintiff has abandoned its other claims.
|
||
judgment_summary: >-
|
||
Birkenhead Properties and Investments Limited sued Lam Kai-man for recovery of land in Yuen Long, New
|
||
Territories. The core issue was Lam's claim of adverse possession over the Area Shaded White. The court
|
||
found that Lam failed to establish continuous possession for 12 years and rejected his evidence as inconsistent
|
||
and damaging to credibility. The plaintiff abandoned other claims. Thus, the court disallowed Lam’s
|
||
exclusive possession and ordered him to vacate the land.
