Hong Kong’s Home Affairs Minister Alice Mak announced on Saturday that the government‑appointed administrator of the fire‑hit Wang Fuk Court estate, Hop On Management Company, is still finalising contracts and progressively refunding owners from the remaining balance.
According to the South China Morning Post, the administrator has spent time organising hundreds of thousands of documents related to the estate, and is now issuing refunds to homeowners affected by the blaze.
The incident at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po underscored the need for independent oversight of damaged residential properties and prompted the city to appoint a neutral administrator to oversee settlement and compensation.
