Appeal against the decision refusing leave to appeal out of time from a Registrar's order
that allowed the 1st defendant to set off debt owed by Dr Ki against a judgment sum of
$200,100 awarded to the plaintiffs in a defamation action.
judgment_summary: >
The Court of Appeal dismissed Dr Ki's appeal. The court held that Dr Ki had an inordinate
delay of over 7 months without reasonable excuse in seeking leave to appeal the Registrar's
order. The Registrar had correctly determined that Next Magazine Publishing Ltd was entitled
to set off taxed costs from a previous defamation action against damages awarded to Dr Ki
in the current defamation action, pursuant to Section 35 of the Bankruptcy Ordinance. The
court found no merit in Dr Ki's proposed appeal and upheld the judge's refusal to grant
extension of time. Appeal dismissed with costs.

case_reason: >
Three charges of dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of an indictable offence, contrary to sections 25(1) and (3) of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance, Cap. 455. The appellant allowed his bank accounts to be used to receive funds totaling HK$2,042,120.47 from victims of investment and lottery fraud in America and Taiwan between 20-23 October 2009, then withdrew and passed the money to a person named 'Ah Yung'.
judgment_summary: >
The Court of Appeal reduced the appellant's sentence from 2 years and 8 months to 2 years' imprisonment. The court found the original sentence excessive, noting that the appellant's role was less culpable as he merely allowed his accounts to be used with limited knowledge of the underlying crime. While the case involved over HK$2 million and an international element, the appellant was not the mastermind and received no direct payment, only debt forgiveness of HK$50,000-60,000. The court applied principles from HKSAR v Boma Amaso regarding sentencing factors in money laundering cases and ordered the three concurrent sentences of 2 years each.

case_reason: >
The defendant was charged with trafficking in dangerous drugs after arriving at Hong Kong International Airport from Kuala Lumpur on 6 July 2008. Customs officials observed abnormal abdominal bulging, and medical examination confirmed foreign objects in his body. Over 9 days, he excreted 75 pellets containing 610.67g of heroin hydrochloride with a street value exceeding $500,000.
judgment_summary: >
The Court of Appeal dismissed the application for leave to appeal out of time against conviction. The applicant was convicted on 21 May 2009 of trafficking in dangerous drugs and sentenced to 21 years imprisonment. The appeal was substantially out of time (over 1.5 years delay) and the ground of appeal concerning the judge's direction on duress defense was not substantial or plainly arguable. The court found no merit in the argument that the judge's use of "immediate or almost immediate" harm excluded threats to the applicant's father, and confirmed that the judge properly directed the jury on the defense of duress and evasive action available to the defendant.

case_reason: >
Fraud involving invoice financing. The defendant, together with Hui Po Keung and Leung Chi Keung (Kenny),
committed fraud on 14 banks by falsely representing that sales and purchases of goods mentioned in Ming Fai
Production Company Limited invoices were genuine, inducing banks to make payments totaling over $153 million
during January to July 2007.
judgment_summary: >
The Court of Appeal granted leave to appeal against conviction but dismissed the appeal. The applicant was
convicted of 14 counts of fraud contrary to section 16A of the Theft Ordinance, Cap. 210. The court found
that despite some inappropriate judicial interventions and prosecutorial conduct, these did not constitute
material irregularities. The applicant's role as Financial Controller involved applying for banking facilities,
signing facility letters and guarantees, knowing Ming Fai was not a genuine computer supplier. The appeal
against sentence was partially allowed only for Count 4, reducing it from 3 years to 2 years imprisonment.
Total sentence remained 7 years and 3 months imprisonment, with outstanding bank losses of $21.47 million.

Application for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal concerning a non-refoulement claim.
The applicant's appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 28 May 2020, and she subsequently
sought leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal, arguing that the assessor did not properly
consider her fear of returning to her country of origin due to political disputes and that the
assessment lacked proper inquiry about country conditions under BOR 3 risk.
judgment_summary: >
The Court of Appeal dismissed the applicant's Notice of Motion for leave to appeal to the Court
of Final Appeal. The applicant had previously appealed from DHCJ K.W. Lung's order refusing her
application for leave to apply for judicial review concerning her non-refoulement claim, which
was dismissed on 28 May 2020. In her motion, the applicant repeated arguments already assessed
by the lower court and the Court of Appeal without addressing the court's reasoning. The court
found no question of great general or public importance under section 22(1)(b) of the Hong Kong
Court of Final Appeal Ordinance (Cap. 484), nor any basis for granting leave under the "or
otherwise" limb. The motion dated 9 June 2020 was dismissed.

case_reason: Professional negligence claim against solicitors for allegedly negligent legal advice regarding a property sale transaction that resulted in breach of contract and subsequent damages.
judgment_summary: |
The Court of Final Appeal dismissed Kensland's appeal against its former solicitors TTC. Kensland had sued TTC for negligent advice regarding termination of a property sale contract with Whale View Investment Ltd. The court held that Kensland's action was time-barred under the Limitation Ordinance. By November 1997, Kensland had sufficient knowledge of the damage and its attribution to TTC's advice to commence proceedings. The court applied section 31 of the Limitation Ordinance, finding that Kensland knew the facts about the damage (liability to Whale View, legal costs, and property value diminution) and that this damage was attributable to TTC's acts or omissions. The appeal was dismissed with costs.

Eight defendants staged a May Day procession on 1 May 2020 from Admiralty Centre to Central Government Offices to demand unemployment benefits and protest against COVID restrictions, violating the regulation prohibiting gatherings of more than four persons.
judgment_summary: The Court of Final Appeal dismissed the leave application. The applicants sought to challenge their convictions for participating in a prohibited group gathering during COVID-19, raising questions about the construction of the Regulation and constitutional issues regarding freedom of demonstration. The Court held that no point of law of great and general importance was involved since the Regulation expired on 31 March 2023 and is now a dead letter. The proper construction of its provisions is no longer of general importance, and questions of constitutionality and proportionality are entirely moot. The Court rejected arguments that similar regulations might be enacted in future pandemics, noting that any future measures would depend on the specific nature of the pandemic and cannot be assumed to have similar wording.

case_reason: Property dispute arising from former cohabitation involving claims for resulting trust over shop and flat, money lent, and damages for breach of loan agreement
judgment_summary: |
This action arose from the former cohabitation between the parties. The plaintiff claimed: (1) 50% beneficial interest in Shop 6, Ground Floor, Jing Ying Building, Yuen Long based on contribution; (2) sole beneficial ownership of Flat A, 1st Floor, Shiu Yat House, On Lok Road, Yuen Long; (3) $50,000 as money lent; and (4) $75,262.07 damages for breach of loan agreement. The court found the defendant's credibility destroyed by photographic evidence proving earlier cohabitation than claimed. Despite concerns about the plaintiff's bankruptcy history and lack of documentation, the court accepted her account. Judgment granted the plaintiff sole beneficial ownership of the flat, proportionate beneficial interest in the shop based on her financial contribution, repayment of $50,000 loan, and $75,262.07 damages. The court also ordered payment of the plaintiff's share of rental income from the shop from September 1987 onwards.

case_reason: Land recovery action - adverse possession claim. The plaintiff, as registered owner of Lot No 769 (part) in Demarcation District No 99, Yuen Long, New Territories, sought to recover possession of land from a squatter. The defendant counterclaimed adverse possession of the disputed area.
judgment_summary: This is an action for recovery of land by the registered owner against a squatter. The plaintiff became the registered owner of Lot No 769 (part) in Yuen Long, New Territories on 25 May 1978 and sought to recover a rectangular plot of land. The 1st defendant claimed continuous exclusive possession since before March 1999 and counterclaimed adverse possession. The court found that although the defendant had exclusive possession of the disputed area (except the Marshy Area), he failed to demonstrate the necessary animus possidendi (intention to possess) and that his possession was adverse to the plaintiff. Critically, his possession fell short of the 12-year period required under the Limitation Ordinance to extinguish the plaintiff's title. The court dismissed the defendant's defence and counterclaim, entering judgment for the plaintiff for possession of the disputed land.

The Court dismissed the application for leave to apply for judicial review. The Court held that: (1) under Section 2(1) of the Commission of Inquiry Ordinance, Cap 86, the power to appoint a Commission is vested in the Chief Executive in Council, and the court has no power to compel such appointment; (2) the Chief Executive in Council is not under a legal duty to appoint a Commission, and no legitimate expectation arose as there was no relevant representation by the decision-maker; (3) the relief sought was plainly inappropriate as the Applicants failed to identify the precise incidents or scope of inquiry; (4) whether to establish a Commission is a political decision, not a legal issue for the court to resolve.

judgment_summary: |
The Appellant was convicted of taking employment while remaining in Hong Kong unlawfully. The case involved a covert Immigration Department operation where decoy officers observed the Appellant working as a waiter in a restaurant. The main issue at trial was the identity of the Appellant. The prosecution witnesses testified that they observed a male in a blue polo top serving customers, and this person was subsequently identified as the Appellant when officers revealed themselves. The Magistrate found the prosecution witnesses credible and reliable, applying Turnbull guidelines for identification evidence. The Appellant appealed his conviction, claiming he was not the person who served the officers and was only in the restaurant to pray. The Deputy High Court Judge reviewed the evidence and found no basis to interfere with the Magistrate's findings. The conviction was upheld as the evidence proved the charge beyond reasonable doubt.

The inquest examined the cause of death and circumstances connected with the deaths, including the hot air balloon fire that occurred during landing procedures.
judgment_summary: This inquest concerned the deadliest hot air ballooning disaster in history, resulting in 19 deaths, 9 of whom were Hong Kong citizens on a Kuoni Travel tour. On 26 February 2013, a hot air balloon caught fire during landing procedures over Luxor City. The investigation found the probable cause was a hose fuel leak at the upper portion of the forward right hose connected to burner number 193, which ignited and caused major injury to the pilot who was unable to control the fire. Contributing factors included inadequate maintenance procedures and the hose's accumulated high flight hours since 2005. The coroner found all deaths were caused by multiple injuries and burns, concluding they were deaths by accident. The inquest also examined issues regarding travel insurance coverage, risk assessment by travel companies, information provided to tourists about activity risks, and the selection and supervision of local service providers.

The Coroner found that all nine deceased died on the morning of 26 February 2013 during

was multiple injuries and burns. The Coroner concluded that the deaths were deaths by
accident. The inquest revealed significant issues regarding: (1) inadequate risk assessment
by the travel company Kuoni before offering the hot air balloon activity; (2) insufficient
information provided to tour escorts and customers about the risks involved; (3) ambiguous
insurance coverage information; (4) maintenance discrepancies by the Egyptian balloon
operator Sky Cruise; and (5) lack of proper pre-departure checks. The Coroner made

Inquest into the deaths of 39 persons arising out of the collision between passenger vessels
Lamma IV and Sea Smooth on 1 October 2012 off Lamma Island. The inquest was ordered by the
Court of Appeal on 26 July 2023 to examine six specific issues not fully addressed in the
Commission of Inquiry or criminal proceedings, including whether Cheoy Lee knew the bulkhead
was to be built watertight, whether damage stability calculations were properly conducted,
whether port hull bow plating was attached to Sea Smooth at collision, whether Lamma IV's
coaming was lower than required, whether the bulkhead was properly inspected, and the long
working hours of seafarers.
judgment_summary: >
The Coroner's Court conducted an inquest into the deaths of 39 passengers aboard Lamma IV,
which sank within 118 seconds after colliding with Sea Smooth on 1 October 2012. The collision
occurred at approximately 8:20pm in waters off Shek Kok Tsui, northwest of Lamma Island. The
port side bow of Sea Smooth struck the port aft quarter of Lamma IV, causing a substantial
breach to Lamma IV's hull. The rapid sinking was attributed to the absence of a watertight
door at the bulkhead separating the Steering Gear Compartment from the Tank Room, allowing
uncontrolled flooding. The court found that 36 deceased died from drowning, while 3 died from
traumatic injuries combined with drowning. The collision was caused by negligent navigation
of both vessels' coxswains, with the Sea Smooth coxswain bearing greater culpability. The
court concluded that each of the 39 deceased was killed unlawfully, applying the civil standard
of proof. The inquest examined 84 witnesses and 364 exhibits over multiple hearing dates in
2025, with verdict delivered on 21-22 January 2026.

judgment_summary: This was a case management conference for Competition Tribunal Action No 1 of 2018, which was transferred from the High Court. Meyer raised a common defence in two separate High Court actions (HCA 1929/2017 and HCA 1069/2018) alleging that Taching and Shell colluded in price fixing over the years in breach of the First Conduct Rule under the Competition Ordinance.

The Tribunal directed that Meyer need not file an ONA but must file Points of Defence setting out its case on all competition issues. General leave to file a rejoinder was declined. All four sets of proceedings were directed to be listed and heard together for directions until further order. Costs of Shell's application for intervention were ordered to be costs in the cause of the Shell Action.

Enforcement action by the Competition Commission against Quantr Limited and its director
Cheung Man Kit for contravention of the First Conduct Rule under section 6 of the Competition
Ordinance. The respondents engaged in price-fixing and bid-rigging by exchanging price-sensitive
information and coordinating their bids with another company in a quotation exercise conducted
by Ocean Park Corporation for a workflow automation project using Nintex software.
judgment_summary: >
The Competition Tribunal approved a joint application under the Carecraft procedure for consent
orders. The Tribunal declared that Quantr Limited contravened the First Conduct Rule and that
Cheung Man Kit was involved in the contravention. Quantr Limited was ordered to pay a pecuniary
penalty of HK$37,702.26 to the Government. Further proceedings were stayed on condition that
the respondents implement compliance measures including: circulating Competition Commission
materials to staff, adopting a competition compliance policy, and ensuring staff attend training
on competition law. The respondents were ordered to pay the Commission's costs on a joint and
several basis. The penalty was determined considering the low value of sales (less than HK$150,000),
short duration of contravention, cooperation with the Commission, and admission of facts.

case_reason: >
Case management conference for directions in a competition enforcement action brought by
the Competition Commission. The primary issue addressed was the procedure for discovery
of documents, particularly whether the Respondents should be ordered to make general
discovery.
judgment_summary: >
The Competition Tribunal declined to make an order for the Respondents to make general
discovery at this time. The court held that the Commission failed to follow proper
procedure by not filing a summons in Form 2 as required by Rule 8 of the Competition
Tribunal Rules. The President clarified that there is no presumption that general
discovery is the norm in enforcement actions. The Commission must justify any discovery
order by explaining what documents or categories of documents it seeks, their relevance
to the issues, and why discovery is justified given the Commission's investigatory
powers. The Commission offered to make general discovery of all documents in its
possession relevant to the issues. If the Commission wishes to pursue a discovery
application, it must formulate it properly in line with the court's observations.

Enforcement action concerning contravention of the First Conduct Rule in relation to
tendering for renovation and redecoration work pursuant to the Hong Kong Housing Authority's
Decoration Contractor System. The case involved market allocation and price fixing agreements
among contractors, with the 3rd and 5th Respondents entering into an illicit arrangement
exploiting the 3rd Respondent's privileged position as a HKHA designated decoration contractor.
judgment_summary: >
The Competition Tribunal imposed pecuniary penalties on the 3rd and 5th Respondents for
contravening the First Conduct Rule. The 3rd Respondent (Pacific View Engineering Ltd) was
ordered to pay a penalty of $1,579,000 for contravening the First Conduct Rule. The 5th
Respondent (LAM Po Wong) was ordered to pay a penalty of $280,000 for being involved in the
contravention. The Tribunal rejected the argument that both respondents should be treated as
one undertaking for penalty purposes, holding that each legal person should be penalized
individually under sections 91-93 of the Competition Ordinance. The Tribunal accepted
undertakings from both respondents instead of injunctive relief. The decision followed the
Kam Kwong procedure (analogous to the Carecraft procedure) where respondents conceded
liability through a Statement of Agreed Facts. A 9% reduction was granted for cooperation
and admission of liability.

Applications for leave to appeal decisions regarding: (1) the timing of Kam Kwong applications

which the Tribunal directed should be heard together at trial or when all respondents reach
agreement with the Commission; and (2) disclosure of correspondence relating to cooperation
agreements between ATAL's employees and the Commission.
judgment_summary: >
The Competition Tribunal refused leave to appeal on both applications. The Tribunal held that
the timing of Kam Kwong applications is a matter of discretion and case management, not raising
a material point of law. The Commission and ATAL had sought one penalty of HK$150,000,000 in
both actions, but accepted that one composite judgment imposing one composite fine in two
proceedings would not be appropriate. The Tribunal directed that Kam Kwong applications in both
actions be dealt with together after trial or when all respondents reach agreement. The Tribunal
also refused leave to appeal the disclosure decision, finding no reasonable prospect of success.
An interim stay was granted on the disclosure decision pending Court of Appeal determination.
The two proceedings were ordered to be heard together. Costs: 80% payable by the Commission,
20% by the 1st Respondent to other respondents.

case_reason: Dispute arising from termination of employment relationship between employer (Plaintiff) and employee (Defendant) in September 2002, involving claims for breach of employment contract, conversion of property, and counterclaims for constructive dismissal and employment entitlements.
judgment_summary: This case concerns the termination of employment between the Plaintiff employer (trading as Long Fai Bus Co.) and the Defendant employee (a coach driver) in September 2002. The Plaintiff claimed the employment was terminated by mutual agreement on 14 September 2002 and that the Defendant failed to return a coach (KJ 4376), wireless transceiver, three covers, and boarding tickets, seeking damages of $124,570. The Defendant denied mutual termination and claimed constructive dismissal on 16 September 2002 when the Plaintiff withdrew the coach and demanded return of keys, counterclaiming $23,677.70 for wages in lieu of notice, annual leave pay, and end of year payment. The court found that the Plaintiff failed to establish that oral notice of termination was given on 6 September 2002, noting significant inconsistencies in the Plaintiff's testimony and contradictions with the general manager's earlier testimony at the Labour Tribunal. The evidence supported the Defendant's case that no termination notice was given and that he was constructively dismissed when the coach was repossessed on 16 September 2002.

judgment_summary: The District Court heard an application to set aside a default judgment entered on 10 February 2009. The Defendant claimed he never received the Writ served by insertion through his letterbox at Flat B, rear block, 14th Floor, Wai On Building, 1A Austin Road, Kowloon on 17 October 2008.

The defendants entered Hong Kong illegally and stole 44.8kg of Incense Tree wood by cutting, causing irreplaceable damage to Hong Kong's natural forests and endangered flora.
judgment_summary: The three defendants pleaded guilty to theft and illegal remaining charges. They were arrested on 29 May 2013 while carrying 44.8kg of Incense Tree wood (valued at $3,863,000) and tools for harvesting. They had entered Hong Kong unlawfully between 27-29 May 2013. The court adopted a starting point of 3.5 years' imprisonment for theft, reduced by 1/3 for guilty pleas. D2 received additional reduction due to his young age (19 at time of offence). The prosecution successfully applied for 25% sentence enhancement under section 27(2) of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance due to the harm caused to the community and endangered species. Final sentences: D1 and D3 received 38 months imprisonment (35 months for theft + 3 months consecutive for illegal remaining); D2 received 33 months imprisonment (30 months for theft + 3 months consecutive for illegal remaining).

judgment_summary: This case concerns a water seepage dispute in South Horizon Development, Apleichau. The plaintiffs, owners of Flat 5E, claimed water seepage from the defendants' Flat 6E above affected their Guest Bathroom, Master Bathroom, and corridor ceilings. Despite four rounds of repair works by defendants and multiple investigations by the Management Office and Joint Office (FEHD and BD), Fluorescent Dye Tests (FDT) consistently produced negative results. Expert witnesses conducted various tests including visual inspection, infrared scan, flow meter test, FDT, Electrical Moisture Meter (EMM), and Microwave Leakage Detection (MLD). The court found the plaintiffs failed to prove, on balance of probabilities, that seepage originated from the defendants' premises. The multiple negative FDT results from both experts and independent parties over six years (2012-2018) were deemed reliable and conclusive. The action was dismissed.

case_reason: Causing grievous bodily harm by dangerous driving, contrary to section 36A of the Road Traffic Ordinance. The defendant failed to comply with a red traffic light at a pedestrian crossing on Tai Po Road and struck a pedestrian who was lawfully crossing when the pedestrian light was green.
judgment_summary: The defendant, a 76-year-old surgeon with 52 years of medical practice and an impeccable driving record since 1967, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm by dangerous driving. On 2 November 2019, while driving private car GH 9701 on Tai Po Road, the defendant failed to stop at a red traffic light at a pedestrian crossing outside Savannah College of Art and Design and struck Mr Tam, who was crossing legally. Mr Tam sustained a fractured right ankle requiring surgery and 189 days of sick leave. The court found the defendant's driving fell within the intermediate category of culpability, accepting that he did not deliberately run the red light but failed to keep proper lookout due to inattention. The court adopted a starting point of 12 months' imprisonment after trial, reduced to 9 months for the late guilty plea. Considering the defendant's age, positive good character, significant contributions to medicine and society, clean traffic record, genuine remorse, and responsibility to care for his disabled wife, the court suspended the 9-month sentence for 12 months. The defendant was also disqualified from driving for 2 years and ordered to pass a competency test before driving again.

The decision addressed the calculation period (12 months or shorter period) and the treatment of various types of paid leave days in the wage calculation. A corrigendum was issued on 22 January 2009 to correct the quoted provisions of sections 41 and 41C.

case_reason: Claims for severance payments and terminal payments by five claimants (3rd, 4th, 7th, 9th, and 11th Claimants) against their employer under the Labour Tribunal Ordinance.
judgment_summary: The Labour Tribunal heard claims from five claimants seeking severance payments and terminal payments from their employer. After trial hearings held between March and June 2012, the Presiding Officer ruled on 13 July 2012 that the claims for severance payments were allowed, awarding amounts ranging from HK$3,003.42 to HK$21,848 to the five claimants, totaling HK$66,918.15. The claims for terminal payments were dismissed. The Defendant applied for review on 6 August 2012, but the application was rejected as no new grounds were presented beyond those already considered and rejected at trial. The Defendant's application for stay of payment-out of the judgment sum was also dismissed, considering the senescent claimants' circumstances and the low prospect of appeal success.

case_reason: Claims for severance payments and alternatively terminal payments arising from the termination of employment following the expiry of a government service contract (FEHD Street Cleaning Services Contract for Wanchai) on 31 December 2011, where the employer attempted to re-deploy workers to different workplaces with varied working conditions.
judgment_summary: Five cleaning workers claimed severance payments after their employer's government service contract expired. The workers were employed under Government Standard Employment Contracts tied to the FEHD contract (FEHDSC/63/09) for street cleaning services in Wanchai from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2011. When the contract expired, the employer attempted to re-deploy them to different locations with changed working hours. The Tribunal found that the employment contracts contained an implied term that they would terminate with the expiry of the FEHD contract, or alternatively, that the employer's unilateral variation of major employment conditions (workplace and working hours) constituted constructive dismissal. The Tribunal ruled that the workers were dismissed by reason of redundancy under sections 31B and 31D of the Employment Ordinance, and the employer was liable for severance payments.

case_reason: Statutory Electricity Easements - compensation for diminution in value of property
judgment_summary: |
This is the first application for compensation under the Electricity Networks (Statutory Easements) Ordinance Cap. 357. The applicant, registered Crown lessee of Lot 998 in Demarcation District 130, New Territories (202.34 square metres), sought compensation for diminution in property value due to registration of statutory easement for 400 KV transmission network. The Tribunal held that: (1) registration of easement and existence of oversails diminished open market value of property, entitling owner to compensation; (2) residential buildings permitted under Modification of Tenancy should be included in valuation despite being revocable; (3) no compensation payable for risk of future loss or damage, but remedies for persons suffering actual loss available at common law and under statutory cause of action by way of damages. The Tribunal awarded compensation of $10,000 for diminution in value attributable to the registration of the order and construction of transmission lines over the property.

case_reason: Part IV Possession Application seeking to recover arrears of rent and possession of a semi-detached house property at No.67B, 10th Street, Hong Lok Yuen. The dispute centered on whether there was a valid agreement to reduce monthly rent from $18,000 to $15,500, and whether the tenant had paid the required rent in full.
judgment_summary: The Lands Tribunal heard a possession application (LDPD 1380/2004) concerning rental arrears for a property leased since 6 September 2002. The landlord claimed the tenant failed to pay full rent from October 2003, resulting in arrears. The tenant argued he had paid in full based on an agreement to reduce rent from $18,000 to $15,500 per month. The tribunal examined correspondence between the parties, including a letter dated 21 May 2003 marked "Without Prejudice" offering rent reduction, the tenant's acceptance on 10 October 2003, and the landlord's attempted repudiation on 17 October 2003. Despite finding that consideration existed (tenant giving up early termination rights under Clause 4 of Schedule II), the tribunal ruled that the "Without Prejudice" letter should not be disclosed and therefore concluded there was no valid rent reduction agreement. The tribunal rejected the tenant's defense regarding outstanding repair works, stating repair issues do not justify non-payment of rent.

case_reason: Application for review of a case management decision dated 3 November 2008 concerning whether multiple rating appeals should be consolidated and heard together or whether a single test appeal should proceed with other appeals stayed pending its outcome.
judgment_summary: The Lands Tribunal heard an application for review under section 11A of the Lands Tribunal Ordinance regarding a case management decision. The applicant sought to review the decision that designated a single case as a test appeal with other appeals stayed. The Tribunal held that the review process is a two-stage process - first deciding whether there should be a review, then conducting the review if warranted. The Tribunal ruled that respondents are entitled to be heard at the first stage, disagreeing with the ex parte approach in Good Trader Limited v Hinking Investment Limited. The application for review was refused, with the Tribunal maintaining that the test appeal procedure was the appropriate case management approach. The applicant's arguments regarding potential refunds and a new 2008 appeal were found insufficient to warrant revisiting the earlier decision.

case_reason: Claims for management fees in arrears for the period between 2005 and 2007, with disputes arising over the construction of the deed of mutual covenants (DMC) governing the building. The respondent challenged the proceedings on grounds that the applicant's solicitors were contracted without proper tender procedure as required under sections 20A(2) and (2B) of the Building Management Ordinance.
judgment_summary: The Lands Tribunal heard five consolidated building management applications (LDBM 371-375/2007) originally filed as small claims. The respondent Ying Kong Company Limited sought to strike out or stay the applications, arguing that the Incorporated Owners contracted their solicitors (S K Lam, Alfred Chan & Co) without following mandatory tender procedures under section 20A of the Building Management Ordinance. The Tribunal examined whether the legal costs exceeded the threshold requiring tender (HK$200,000 or 20% of annual budget, whichever is lesser), and analyzed the effect of non-compliance with section 20A. The Tribunal held that even if section 20A(2) was breached, the contract with solicitors would be voidable rather than void, and could not be set aside without the owners' resolution or court order under section 20A(7). The Tribunal found no basis to strike out the applications, set aside the solicitors' notice to act, or impose personal costs liability on the solicitors. The respondent's amended summons was dismissed with costs to the applicant.

case_reason: Criminal prosecution for distribution of infringing copies of copyright works using BitTorrent file-sharing system, contrary to section 118(1)(f) of the Copyright Ordinance, Cap. 528. The defendant seeded three films on the Internet without commercial purpose but to an extent prejudicial to copyright owners.
judgment_summary: This landmark case represents the first prosecution in Hong Kong (and possibly worldwide) for copyright infringement using BitTorrent technology. The defendant uploaded three films to the Internet using BitTorrent, creating .torrent files and publishing them on a newsgroup accessible to anyone. He acted as the original seeder, maintaining his Internet connection to enable 35-40 users to download each film. The Magistrate emphasized that Hong Kong's firm deterrent sentencing policy for copyright infringement applies equally to non-commercial distribution via the Internet. Despite the absence of commercial gain, the court found the potential harm to copyright owners substantial due to the insidious nature of Internet distribution and the risk of re-distribution. The defendant was sentenced to three months' imprisonment (concurrent on three charges), with a warning that future offenders may face longer terms comparable to commercial piracy cases.

case_reason: Eight summonses alleging that C.L. Management Services Limited (D1) and AU Suet-ming, Clarea (D2) carried on or held themselves out as carrying on a business in a regulated activity, namely advising on corporate finance, without a licence in relation to three client companies (3 Wells Group Holdings Limited, UK Fur Limited, and New Bonus Holdings Limited), in contravention of sections 114(1) and 114(8) of the Securities and Futures Ordinance.
judgment_summary: The Eastern Magistrates Court convicted D1 of three "holding-out" offences under section 114(1)(b) of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (ESS 39231/2013, 30673/2013, and 30675/2013) and D2 of three corresponding attributable offences under section 390 (ESS 39232/2013, 30674/2013, and 30676/2013). The court found that D1 held itself out to the three client companies as carrying on a business in advising on corporate finance by signing Professional Financial Consultation Services Agreements that clearly represented D1 as an "exclusive financial adviser" providing advisory services concerning listing matters. D1 was acquitted of the "carrying on" offence (ESS 30671/2013) regarding 3 Wells as the court found insufficient evidence of continuity. The court ruled that offences under section 114 create strict liability falling within the second alternative (prosecution need not prove mens rea, but defendant can raise honest and reasonable belief as defence), and that "without reasonable excuse" is an element of the offence. D1 was fined a total of $900,000 and D2 was fined $600,000 and sentenced to 6 months imprisonment suspended for 18 months. Both defendants appealed against convictions and sentences.

plaintiff:
- Securities and Futures Commission
defendant:
- C.L. Management Services Limited
- AU Suet-ming, Clarea
case_reason: Eight summonses alleging that the defendants carried on or held themselves out as carrying on a business in advising on corporate finance without a licence, contrary to section 114 of the Securities and Futures Ordinance. The case involved three client companies (3 Wells Group Holdings Limited, UK Fur Limited, and New Bonus Holdings Limited) to whom the defendants allegedly provided unlicensed corporate finance advisory services related to listing on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.
judgment_summary: The Eastern Magistrates Court convicted C.L. Management Services Limited (D1) of three summonses (ESS 39231/2013, 30673/2013, and 30675/2013) concerning "holding-out" offences under section 114(1)(b) of the Securities and Futures Ordinance, and convicted AU Suet-ming, Clarea (D2) of three corresponding attributable offences under section 390. The court imposed fines totaling $900,000 on D1 and $600,000 on D2, and sentenced D2 to 6 months imprisonment suspended for 18 months. The judgment addressed key legal issues including whether the offences were strict liability offences, the meaning of "without reasonable excuse", and whether D1 could be liable for acts of D2's agent Michael ANG. The court held that the presumption of mens rea should be displaced for section 114(1) offences, that "without reasonable excuse" is an element of the offence that the prosecution must prove, and that the offences fall within the third alternative of intermediate liability requiring proof of absence of due diligence or honest and reasonable belief.

case_reason: Failure to comply with notice to provide information under section 3(1)(b) of Schedule 5 to the Implementation Rules for Article 43 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The defendants, as office-bearers of Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (HKA), were served with a notice on 25 August 2021 requiring them to provide specified information within 14 days, which they failed to comply with by 8 September 2021.
judgment_summary: The West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts heard Criminal Case No. 3633 of 2021 concerning the defendants' failure to comply with a notice issued under Schedule 5 of the Implementation Rules for NSL Article 43. The case involved two preliminary issues: (1) whether the defence could challenge the legality of the Notice in a criminal trial, and (2) whether the prosecution needed to prove the subject organisation was in fact a foreign agent. The court ruled that the prosecution need not prove HKA was a foreign agent as a matter of fact, as it is an administrative decision rather than an essential element of the offence. The court also ruled that the defence is entitled to challenge the legality of the Notice at trial. The main trial focused on the legality of the Notice issued by the Commissioner of Police with approval from the Secretary for Security. The court examined whether there were reasonable grounds to believe HKA was a "foreign agent" and whether it was necessary to issue the notice for prevention and investigation of offences endangering national security. Public Interest Immunity was claimed to protect ongoing investigations into other organizations. The defendants challenged the Notice on multiple grounds including infringement of rights against self-incrimination, fair trial rights, freedom of association, and privacy protection, as well as claims of unreasonableness, oppression, and ulterior motive.

case_reason: Determination under Section 29(5) of the Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance (Cap. 390) regarding whether two newspaper articles published on 2 December 2005 containing photographs of model Kelly Brook topless on a beach were indecent and unsuitable for publication to juveniles.
judgment_summary: The Obscene Articles Tribunal exercised its jurisdiction under Part V of the Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance to determine whether two articles published in Oriental Daily (page C21) and The Sun (page C54) were indecent. Both articles featured a main photograph showing model Kelly Brook topless with actor boyfriend Billy Zane on a beach, with nipples and aureoles obscured by small squares. The Tribunal applied Section 10 guidance considering moral standards, dominant effect, readership, honest purpose, and Section 2B definition (unsuitable for juveniles under 18). The Tribunal rejected arguments regarding publishers' intentions and prohibited comparison with previously classified materials. The Tribunal found the photographs were given prominent effect, contained gratuitous portrayals of the body and breasts with vivid language, had wide readership reaching all ages, and glorified the naked body in a titillating manner. Both articles were determined to be indecent beyond reasonable doubt.

case_reason: 上訴委員會是否有酌情權在上訴待決期間暫緩執行電訊管理局局長發出的指示
judgment_summary: 本案涉及香港電話有限公司就電訊管理局局長根據《電訊條例》第36B(1)(a)(iii)條發出的指示向電訊競爭條文上訴委員會提出上訴並申請在上訴待決期間暫緩執行該指示。上訴委員會主席及上訴法庭均裁定上訴委員會沒有酌情權暫緩執行。終審法院審理後認為《電訊條例》第32N(2)條僅禁止自動暫緩執行,並未明文禁止酌情暫緩執行。法院裁定,上訴委員會為有效行使其明示獲授予的司法管轄權,具有隱含權力在上訴待決期間酌情暫緩執行有關事項。終審法院判決上訴得直,宣告上訴委員會具有該酌情權,並判給上訴人訟費。

case_reason: 香港聯合交易所有限公司對新世界發展有限公司及其四名執行董事展開紀律程序指控他們違反《上市規則》和上市協議涉及在2001年3月公布中期業績前選擇性地向某些分析員泄露股價敏感資料。答辯人質疑紀律委員會主席發出的程序指示認為該指示限制法律代表在聆訊中的作用侵犯了他們根據《基本法》第35條、《香港人權法案》第10條及普通法下的「程序公平」原則所享有的權利。
judgment_summary: 終審法院裁定上訴得直推翻上訴法庭的判決。法院裁定紀律委員會並非《基本法》第35條所指的「法院」或「法庭」因為該條文只適用於行使香港特區獨立司法權的法院。法院亦裁定答辯人過早提出司法覆核因為他們未能證實程序指示必然導致不公平且未有首先盡量利用《上市規則》所提供的覆核和上訴渠道。法院強調普通法下的「程序公平」原則適用於紀律委員會但是否需要全面法律代表須視乎個別案件的具體情況而定不能在聆訊開始前預先判定。

judgment_summary: 終審法院審理兩宗合併上訴FACV19/2007及FACV20/2007涉及內幕交易審裁處對官永義和陳建成作出的不利裁決。法院裁定由於審裁處有權根據《證券條例》第23(1)(c)條判處罰款有關法律程序涉及對刑事控告作出判定因此《人權法案》第10及11條適用。法院認為審裁處使用根據《證監會條例》第33(4)條強制取得的證據違反人權法案,且應運用"在無合理疑點下證明"的刑事舉證標準。最終法院宣告第23(1)(c)條無效恢復審裁處針對答辯人的不利裁決但僅恢復根據第23(1)(a)、23(1)(b)和27條作出的命令。

judgment_summary: 本案為裁判法院上訴案件上訴人邱陽不服粉嶺裁判法院刑事案件2015年第2882號的定罪判決而提出上訴。案發當日上訴人在落馬洲站港鐵範圍內蹲在地上執拾食物港鐵職員受害人上前要求其離開雙方發生爭執。上訴人以粗口辱罵職員拒絕出示身份證警員到場後上訴人交出身份證並被發出擬檢控通知書。離開現場時上訴人突然折返並以右手推撞該職員致其跌倒背部受創。上訴人辯稱職員假裝跌倒誣告他並提交手機錄像作為新增證物。高等法院原訟法庭暫委法官陳廣池審理上訴後認為原審裁判官對證人可信性的評估並無不妥控方證人證供清晰可靠而上訴人及其證人的證供前後矛盾、不合情理。法官指出即使受害人沒有跌倒蓄意觸碰已足以構成普通襲擊罪。最終駁回上訴維持原判。

judgment_summary: 審裁處於2020年10月14日基於第九答辯人張潤錦承認指控裁定其不適合關涉公司的管理。本聆訊中競委會申請針對張潤錦作出為期兩年的取消資格令。審裁處認定張潤錦符合《條例》第103(2)(b)條的情況即其作為董事雖無份造成違反競爭守則但有合理理由懷疑公司行為構成違反競爭守則卻沒有採取步驟防止該行為。審裁處考慮到張潤錦從一開始便承認責任、年事已高74歲、閱讀能力有限等求情因素最終將取消資格令的時間從兩年縮減至一年零十個月即至2022年8月30日為止。審裁處亦就訟費作出裁決給予張潤錦20%訟費方面的寬免。

judgment_summary: 被告人梁家威承認兩項串謀有意圖而傷人罪。案情顯示被告於2013年1月21日至2月1日期間與另兩人阿勝及阿庭串謀以牛肉刀傷害蘇志偉及溫榮基。被告因沉迷賭博負債30,000元在經濟壓力下接受20,000元報酬答應傷人。被告曾兩次持刀到遊戲機中心尋找目標人物但因膽怯未有下手。被告於2013年2月1日在大埔大元邨遊戲機鋪內因形跡可疑被截停牛肉刀從身上跌出後被制服拘捕。被告於警誡下承認犯案並與警方合作於區域法院690/2013案中充當控方證人指證阿勝及阿庭雖然該案最終裁定二人無罪。法庭認為經審訊後適當量刑基準應為30個月監禁因被告承認控罪及無犯罪前科給予三分之一刑罰寬減至20個月再因協助控方作證進一步減至18個月。控罪一及控罪二的刑罰同期執行。

case_reason: 五位申索人向被告公司追討遣散費及終止僱傭金。
judgment_summary: 勞資審裁處於2012年7月13日作出裁決五位申索人的遣散費申索得直被告公司須即時支付遣散費金額分別為第三申索人港幣13,412.05元、第四申索人港幣3,003.42元、第七申索人港幣21,848元、第九申索人港幣13,827.86元、第十一申索人港幣13,826.82元。五位申索人第二項有關終止僱傭金的追討被撤銷。被告公司須即時支付訟費予五位申索人。被告公司不服裁決提出覆核申請於2012年8月6日進行覆核聆訊。審裁官認為被告公司的理據早已在審訊時提出並不獲接納並無任何新增理據支持覆核申請因此不批准覆核申請。審裁官亦不批准被告公司暫緩發放裁決款項港幣67,996.81元的申請,考慮到五名申索人已屆高齡及上訴程序對他們的影響。

case_reason: 五名申索人向被告公司追討遣散費及交替申索終止僱傭金。被告公司與食物環境衛生署簽訂的灣仔街道潔淨服務合約於2011年12月31日屆滿被告公司在新一輪投標中落選。申索人認為僱傭合約隨服務合約終止而結束要求支付遣散費。
judgment_summary: 審裁處裁定五名申索人與被告公司簽訂的政府標準僱傭合約隱含了食環署合約的屆滿日便是僱傭合約的終結日這條款因此僱傭合約在2011年12月31日告終。被告公司在合約屆滿後未能與申索人續約或簽訂新合約且其調派安排違反了僱傭合約的基本條款。審裁處認定申索人因裁員而遭解僱被告公司須支付遣散費。判令被告公司即時支付五名申索人遣散費總額為港幣66,918.15元,並支付訟費。

judgment_summary: 法庭裁定申請人並未連續三次缺席管委會會議因此未喪失委員及主席職能。然而法庭認為申請人延遲三年才提出申請期間已選出第二屆和第三屆管理委員會屋苑管理正常運作。法庭引用相關案例認為頒布命令沒有實際作用且會對屋苑管理架構帶來混亂。法庭裁定第二答辯人召開的管委會會議僅屬程序失誤不構成會議無效。2009年業主周年大會的通知期符合法例要求大會及選舉有效。法庭駁回申請人所有申請不作訟費命令。

case_reason: 申索人轉售物業時,管理公司表示沒有按金存於業主立案法團,申索人不能轉移管理費按金及公用電錶按金給新業主,申索人要求追討按金
judgment_summary: 申索人曾就相同訴訟因由多次向兩名被告人提出訴訟過往案件均被審裁處撤銷。法庭根據「已經裁判之事不再受理」原則認為申索人不能就相同訴訟因由再次興訟。申索人就相同訴訟因由多次向兩名被告人提出訴訟明顯屬於無理纏擾。法庭根據《小額錢債審裁處條例》第25條剔除申索人對兩名被告人的申索。

case_reason: 申索人指其父親於1996年在博愛醫院住院期間疏忽燃點蚊香導致其父親死亡申索人於2012年入稟追討賠償
judgment_summary: 申索人的訴訟時限為1999年3月21日但申索人於2012年7月4日才入稟超過訴訟時限13年。申索人延誤理由不充分被告人因延誤導致病房已不存在、醫護人員無法確定、證據遺失嚴重影響被告人蒐集證據能力。法庭考慮《時效條例》第30條各項因素後認為訴訟時限條文沒有對申索人造成損害但凌駕訴訟時限會對被告人造成不公平。法庭決定不行使權力凌駕訴訟時限剔除申索人的申索。

case_reason: 警方與康文署在通州街公園進行聯合清場行動,將露宿者的私人財物移走並於三日後棄置,各申索人要求賠償損失
judgment_summary: 法庭裁定署方作為非自願托管者未能行使合理程度的謹慎。署方將物品放入十二架垃圾手推車沒有系統地擺放供認領要求老弱傷殘的無家者在一米深的手推車內尋找物品過於強人所難。署方沒有將物品分類或拍照未達到合理謹慎程度。申索人曾透過社工表明希望取回物品但署方仍在三天後棄置。法庭裁定署方未能證明已負上非自願托管者應有的責任。各申索人只能證明寢具被棄置每人獲象徵式賠償100元及判決後利息不作訟費命令。

case_reason: 六名申索人不服2022年3月29日的裁決要求覆核法庭對賠償金額的評定及未有就精神困擾作出賠償的決定
judgment_summary: 法庭駁回申索人的兩項覆核理由。關於賠償金額評定法庭重申民事訴訟中提出主張的一方有責任證明損失申索人提供的單據在判決後才發出不能證明與遺失物品的關係法庭評定100元象徵式賠償在法律上沒有錯誤。關於精神困擾賠償法庭指出審裁官的查訊責任並非絕對申索人在申索書、證人供詞及審訊中均未提及精神困擾案中亦無醫療證據支持法庭毋須就此進行調查。法庭維持原來裁決撤銷各申索人的覆核申請不作訟費命令。
