Court dismisses challenge to SFC's power of issuing restriction noticesJudgment
SFC, 28-Sep-2022
This relates to an investigation into an alleged pump-and-dump scheme in shares of WMCH Global (8208), which crashed 92% on 26-Nov-2020. The applicants had earlier succeeded in a judicial review of Police "letters of no consent" to "informally" freeze bank accounts. This time, the same judge, Russell Coleman, upheld the SFC's powers.

Tam Sze Leung & others v Commissioner of Police
HK Court of First Instance, 30-Dec-2021
Justice Russell Coleman finds that the issue of "letters of no consent" by the Police to "informally" freeze bank funds of persons under investigation is ultra vires and unconstitutional. The proceedings reveal that the SFC is investigating the applicants for suspected stock market manipulation in a pump-and-dump scheme between 2018 and 2020. The SFC referred a suspicion of money-laundering to the Police, which then asked 3 banks to file Suspicious Transaction Reports in order to trigger LNCs. The tail was wagging the dog.

HK Journalists Association & others vs Commissioner of Police
HK Court of First Instance, 19-Nov-2020
The court declares: “The Government of the HKSAR is under a duty, pursuant to Article 3 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights, to establish and maintain an independent mechanism capable of conducting effective investigation into complaints of suspected ill-treatment by police officers in contravention of Article 3 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights, and that the existing complaints mechanism involving the Complaints Against the Police Office, with oversight by the Independent Police Complaints Council, is inadequate to discharge this obligation."
SFC statement on Police investigation concerning Next Digital (0282) shares
SFC, 11-Sep-2020
Our rough translation: "The Police are off piste, out of their depth and we haven't heard from them". This comes a day after the Police conducted a press conference about the arrests without having charged anyone, alleging market manipulation.
Non-dispersable gatherings
We hereby "sternly clarify" that the Police and Secretary for Justice are wrong to claim that groups of 4 standing more than 1.5 metres apart constitute a single gathering if they have a common purpose. The Group Gathering Regulation allows for multiple, non-dispersable gatherings and contain no reference to the purpose of participants. We also show how to optimise use of available space. (28-Apr-2020)
Judge takes aim at comments by Vice Premier
In continuing the injunction against doxxing with an exception for legitimate news activity, Justice Russell Coleman makes interesting comments on the role of the judiciary and the need for a political solution to the social unrest, which is beyond the scope of the courts. (11-Nov-2019)

He allegedly conned 30 police trainees out of HK$250k. Perhaps the most shocking thing is that they are still teaching musketry.

Where can one protest if not near MTR stations?
Police have banned a protest march on HK Island on Sunday, partly because it goes near several MTR stations. Of course, the whole point of Mass Transit is to take people near urban areas. This image shows what a 500 metre no-protest zone around stations on the MTR Island line would look like. (13-Sep-2019)
MTR videos are not Personal Data under PDPO
The MTRC and Police are hiding behind a "personal data" excuse for not releasing videos of the incident in Prince Edward Station on 31-Aug-2019. The law on this is clear: if the video doesn't name the subjects, then it isn't personal data. So said the Court of Appeal in 2000. HK badly needs a Freedom of Information law. (10-Sep-2019)

Police Chief Telecommunications Engineer admits deceiving government of HK$1.9m housing loan and allowances
ICAC, 12-Feb-2018
It turns out that his wife received a low-interest housing loan from her employer, a bank, therefor Mr Wong was ineligible for this benefit, and under the perverse logic of civil service, he should have been paid less than someone in the same position who was not married.

ICAC, 31-Jan-2018
The wrong way to pay civil servants
A new ICAC case reminds us that the Government and public sector get bad value for taxpayers and lose good people by paying time-limited benefits that are based on irrelevant factors rather than the value of their services. Scrap all the benefits schemes and pay people what they are worth. At the same time, remove the housing loophole from salaries tax, raise personal allowances and bring down the tax rate to compensate. (13-Jan-2018)

Danway Lo Kwok Kuen v HKSARG
HK Court of Appeal, 25-Apr-2017
Mr Lo wins his appeal. After a disciplinary case, he was "compulsorily retired" from the Police in 1999 and subsequently lost a judicial review and was bankrupted after failing to pay costs. 13 years later, he reached the pension age of 55 and the Government tried to deduct 25% of his benefits to settle the outstanding debt of $520k. The CoA rules that there was no secured debt and , having been discharged from bankruptcy, the debt is extinguished and he is entitled to his full pension.

Police arrest seven police officers for assault occasioning actual bodily harmVideo
HK Government, 26-Nov-2014
Note: it says "arrested". No charges have been laid, 42 days after the 15-Oct-2014 beating. Victim Ken Tsang Kin Chiu did not turn up at an identification parade - but then it is rather unlikely that he would be able to recognise the people who carried him, horizontally face down, to a dark place where they beat him up.
