Lo To Lee-kwan, the 97-year-old matriarch of Hong Kong property giant Great Eagle Holdings, said it was her own decision to file a lawsuit to dismiss HSBC as a trustee of her family business as the bank did not follow her guidance on managing the estate.
“I asked it to acquire more Great Eagle shares [as] that is good for the company. But it did not carry out the request. It said I had no right [to instruct it],” Lo said.
It is the first time the wife of the company’s late founder Lo Ying-shek spoke to the media explaining why she filed a lawsuit to dismiss the bank as the trustee in what has become a feud that has split her family into two rival factions.
