The wife of the late socialite Kai-bong Chau is caught up in a tit-for-tat dispute at Sai Kung involving the illegal widening of a track to swerve around a brick wall built in the middle of the country park path.
The track runs past four government-licensed sites near a deserted village in Ma On Shan Country Park. The two sites at the lower end of the track are licensed to Brenda Chau, while the upper two are lodged under the name of Au Yeung Chung-sin.
A man representing Au Yeung said he had organised for the path to be widened a week ago in order to bypass the wall, which was built at the behest of Chau's representatives.
Eric Ching said Au Yeung had been given the impression that the widening works were acceptable after speaking to district lands officers.
The track, believed to have been built by the British army, branches off from the northern part of Po Lo Che Road in Sai Kung and leads to the four sites, which the Lands Department licensed to Chau and Au Yeung years ago for cultivation.
Neither occupies the sites but they are known to have become embroiled in a boundary dispute last year.
