Two more of late tycoon and philanthropist Henry Fok Ying-tung’s 13 children are trying to claim a share of a property project developed under their father.
Patricia Fok Lai-ping and Nora Fok Lai-lor filed separate writs at the High Court on Friday asking the court to declare that the sisters had a right to acquire a stake in the project in Nansha, Guangzhou.
Benjamin Fok Chun-yue, another sibling, filed a petition to seek to assert his rights in the development about two weeks ago.
The project is valued at about 30 billion yuan, or HK$38 billion.
The Fok heirs are challenging a settlement reached in 2012.
Benjamin Fok and the sisters, children of Fok by his first wife, argued that offspring from their father’s first family were inappropriately excluded from an option to acquire a share of the project.
