Honored to have our President, Mr. Kevin Chu, attend the “CIHAPB Seminar: Legal Case Studies of Resolving Property Management Disputes cum Professional Mediation Certification Ceremony” on 13 June 2026.

It was a great opportunity to join nearly 300 industry leaders and practitioners in exploring the vital role of mediation and arbitration in Hong Kong’s property management sector. With the backing of relevant ordinances, these mechanisms provide efficient and legally recognised solutions to disputes among property management companies, owners, and tenants.

The ceremony also celebrated the latest cohort of professional mediators — a solid step forward for the profession.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for today’s insightful CPD seminar on “Who Really Owns the Family Home? Beneficial Ownership Under Hong Kong Law” held today, 22 May 2026.

Your participation – whether in person or via Zoom – made this event truly meaningful.

The seminar examined a critical and often contentious area of Hong Kong property law: who is treated as having an ownership interest in a family home, even where the legal title is held by someone else. Key topics included:

–  Common Intention Constructive Trusts
–  Resulting Trusts
–  Proprietary Estoppel
– Matrimonial Assets

These issues become particularly important when relationships break down, or in cases of death, insolvency, or third-party claims.

Special thanks to our speaker, Mr. Kwok Hei, for sharing his invaluable expertise.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Ken Wong for presenting the certificate of appreciation to our speaker today.

This seminar provided practical legal insights, reinforcing our commitment to continuing professional development and industry excellence.
