The applicant, Maria Elena Lao Chan, sought to set aside a 1995 divorce judgment between herself and her now-deceased husband, Wing Sang Chan, on the grounds of mistake and/or fraud.
The court reviewed the lengthy factual and procedural history, including conflicting narratives about the parties' marital status, the authenticity of affidavits, and the involvement of handwriting experts.
Ultimately, the court found insufficient evidence to support Maria's claims of fraud, inadequate child support arrangements, or lack of jurisdiction.
The motion was dismissed.
