In recent weeks I’ve posted a few articles about Carson Yeung being in court in a civil suit over money he allegedly owes to a guy called Weng Shibing with regard to Carson’s purchase of SMI Publishing.

It’s a case that’s been going on for a long time now, and it was back in court yesterday as Weng is trying to force Carson to hand over a luxury apartment as payment. However, it appears Carson has won the latest battle on a technicality as Weng did not file the correct paperwork, and now Carson (and his ex-wife Li Wing Sze, who is his co-defendant) is asking for Weng to pay his legal costs. As usual, the judge has adjourned it for a little while longer to have a think about it.

This doesn’t really affect Blues in honesty, but what it does show is that court cases are never a foregone conclusion – I understand some fans have this feeling Carson will be found guilty of the money-laundering charges he faces but until the judge decides we don’t know for sure.
