Allegations Of Adultery Made

By Mother-In-Law

Allegations that the complainant had misbehaved herself and had committed adultery were made by Tse Yeung-yam, mother of the defendant, when a summons brought by Koo Shiu-wah, 23, against her husband, Lam Fung-lung, for desertion and wilful neglect to provide reasonable maintenance, was heard before Mr. R.
