Unexpected event for wedding


In 2006, Anthony Fong had well-planned for his wedding banquet and it led to an unexpected court case.

In late November, Anthony Fong decided to marry Ng Sin Ling who is the younger sister of Sharon Ng Sin Ying, his former colleague in TVB. The wedding banquet was originally scheduled on 26th November. However, it was interrupted by a sudden event.

Lippo Restaurant, which the couple had booked their banquet in, had suddenly closed down due to the expiration of lease. The unexpected closure of the restaurant had forced the couple for an earlier arrangement of marriage date to 12th November and a change of banquet venue to BP International Hotel Banquet. Anthony Fong believed that the failure of administration in the restaurant had caused great pressure to the couple, as all of the former planning of the wedding had to be readjusted. Therefore, along with seven other affected couples, Anthony Fong made his claim in Small Claims Tribunal and asked for compensation of forty-seven thousand dollars. The defendant, Maxim’s Caterers Ltd. had failed in the discussion for settlement and the case was then adjourned to 1st August.
