The pair were charged with one count each of criminal damage. Fan also faced one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The charges were dismissed when they agreed to the bond.The court heard that Bee, Fan and Rose Cheung Siu-yuen, a younger sister of Bee's ex-wife Teresa Cheung, crossed paths in the ground-floor lift lobby of a building in MacDonnell Road. Mid-Levels, on April 3 this year.
The couple and Rose Cheung were living on separate floors.
Bee got involved in a dispute with Rose Cheung over Bee's daughter. When Fan appeared, she joined in.
The court was told that during the encounter, Fan pushed Rose Cheung's shoulder and grabbed at her clothing. When Cheung took out a mobile phone to call the police, Fan took it and smashed it. Cheung said she saw Fan stomp on it.
Cheung called the police using a second mobile phone.
She was found to be experiencing tenderness on her neck, back and buttocks at a medical examination at Ruttonjee Hospital following the incident. Bruising and a scratch mark on her right arm were also noted.
Bee said he was very happy after the hearing. He added: "I have been on good behaviour for multiple decades. That means no change to my current way of life."
