  Nina Wang case deferred to April 22
The case of property tycoon Nina Wang, accused of causing miscarriage of justice by forging her late husband's will in a long legal battle over his estate, will now be heard on April 22.
Wang was arrested in January after the Court of Appeal, in a separate civil hearing last year, ruled that a will dated March 12, 1990, furnished by Wang to claim her husband's huge fortune, had been forged.
Wang's husband Teddy Wang was kidnapped on April 10, 1990, and never returned, after which she took control of his company and built it into a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate.

 Asia Sentinel - Nina and Teddy: The Drama’s Final Curtain
Nina Wang, who staged an epic eight-year legal battle to maintain control of her murdered husband’s Chinachem property empire, died Tuesday, apparently from cancer, at the age of 69, according to a statement Wednesday from a family spokesperson.
Nina delayed having Teddy declared legally dead until seven years after his disappearance -- her father in law alleged because she was unsure of her ability to prevail in court as the sole heir.
Nina was in control of Chinachem at the start of the project but her estranged father-in-law would have nominally been in charge between mid-2004 and September 2005, when court battles temporarily delivered control of the company to him.

Wang Sr's evidence of this 1968 affair was subsequently corroborated by the evidence of Yih and Teresa.
However, Nina's hostility was also contributed by the information she received from Teddy who deliberately misinformed her of Yih's involvement in the discovery of her misbehaviour and had advised him on employing a private detective to investigate her.

 Character review: Arika Yumemiya - Page 3 - AnimeSuki Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Nina never had anyone else, never had anyone to love or anyone to love and care for her.
Since Nina never experienced any of these feelings until she was 9 years old, however a small length of time this may seem in a person's lifetime, she can't possibly know what each type of affection feels like.
You could probably say Nina is my favourite character because I find her case so interesting, and enjoy trying to break the way she is down into written form in an attempt to understand her.

 The Standard - Nina Wang not given fair trial, says lawyer - Metro Section
Nina Wang, Hong Kong's richest woman, was not given a fair trial when the lower courts ruled that a will purported to have been made in 1990, leaving Teddy Wang's Chinachem empire to his wife, was not genuine, the Court of Final Appeal was told Friday.
In submitting his conclusion, Nina Wang's lawyer Geoffrey Vos said Court of First Instance judge David Yam was not objective when making his ruling, and relied instead on the written submissions from the legal team of her father-in-law, who is fighting for the business empire.
After a record-breaking 172-day trial in 2002, the High Court found that Nina Wang had authored and forged the 1990 will, consequently adopting a 1968 will, which was made at the time when she was alleged to have been having an affair, leaving everything to her 94-year-old father-in-law, Wang Din-shin.
