The High Court has sided with Hong Kong “king of comedy” Stephen Chow Sing Chi in his eight-year legal feud with an ex-girlfriend who sued him for HK$70 million (S$12 million) in investment “commissions”.
Alice Yu Man Fung took the Shaolin Soccer star to court two years after their break-up in 2010, claiming they had made an oral agreement some time around Christmas 2002 for Chow to pay her a 10 per cent share of net profits on all successful investments she recommended.
Her claims covered Chow’s current luxury home at 12 Pollock’s Path on The Peak – one of the four houses he developed upon acquiring the plot – valued at HK$911 million in December 2011, as well as three properties in a development in Tai Po known as The Beverly Hills and an investment in a private equity fund.
