Barristers Disciplinary Tribunal censures Tanya Chan, orders HK$140k costs
Barristers Disciplinary Tribunal, 31-Mar-2023
This was based on agreed facts after the Bar Council amended its complaint to remove the allegation that Ms Chan's behaviour on 27-28-Sep-2014 (at the start of the Umbrella Movement) was "prejudicial to the administration of justice". The reduced admitted complaint was that her conduct "may bring the profession of barristers into disrepute." This was a follow-on action to her earlier conviction for inciting, and inciting others to incite, public nuisance, for which she received a suspended sentence, partly on medical grounds.

Chong Hing Bank Ltd: privatisation by scheme of arrangement sanctioned
HK Court of First Instance, 18-Oct-2021
Citing a "lack of a meaningful response from the SFC", Justice Linda Chan appointed Winston Poon SC and Eva Sit SC as amici curiae (friends of the court) to opine on the meaning of Rule 2.10 of the Takeovers Code. In her judgment, this rule prohibits concert parties from voting at the court meeting, rather than simply requiring that their votes shall not be counted for the purposes of Rule 2.10. This is a different view that taken by Justice Jonathan Harris in the case of Cosmos Machinery Enterprises Ltd, but she regards his view as obiter (non-binding).
