Counsel Claims Judge's Decision Was Ambiguous

An appeal against the judgment of Mr Justice A. D. Scholes was brought this morning by Lee Yan, furniture maker, of 14 Tin Lok Lane, ground floor, before the Full Court, comprising Mr Justice C. W. Recce and Mr Justice J. R. Gregg.

Mr Justice Scholes had given judgment with costs for the respondent, Shum Yat-ming, mer- chant, of 15 Gap Road, second floor, giving him possession of the Chun Ning Firm at 14 Tin Lak Lane together with its business assets and premises as well as $3,000 damages against the appellant, Lee.

Shum, the plaintiff in the the cockloft which was perched original action, had claimed that on one end of the ground floor, he bought the business and He declared that he had been tenancy from Lee for MY30,000 | instructed not to argue about in August, 1945 and had allowed whether business gasets meant Lee to live in the cockloft as those at the end of 1945 or at an assistant of the business free the present time.
