Adminstrator to ‘review’ tribunal decision on Wang Fuk Court owners’ meeting
Hop On Management Company says it will arrange extraordinary general meeting as displaced owners have requested, but does not indicate time frame
“Hop On is currently conducting a thorough review on the judgment, and will continue with its work verifying owners’ signatures and identifying a suitable venue, with the aim of convening the owners’ meeting while safeguarding the rights and interests of all owners of Wang Fuk Court,” it said.
Hop On, a subsidiary of developer Chinachem Group, stressed it had been doing its utmost to discharge its duties in the aftermath of last November’s inferno, which killed 168 people at the Tai Po subsidised housing estate.
“Hop On’s application to postpone the owners’ meeting was primarily due to the need for more time to conduct extensive preparatory work,” the company said.
“It also reflects the intention to ensure that the meeting is conducted in a fair and inclusive manner, allowing all owners, including executors, to participate, while identifying a suitable venue and actively seeking assistance from relevant parties.”
Hop On was required by law to convene and hold a general meeting for Wang Fuk Court residents after 247 owners, representing more than 12 per cent of its 1,984 households, filed a written request on April 29 for a meeting to allow them to follow up on the company’s handling of matters arising from the disaster.
