Hong Kong court finds comedy legend Stephen Chow does not owe ex millions in investment commissions


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 (US$9 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.
