CIL Holdings Ltd (ex-479) v SEHK
HK Court of First Instance, 19-Jun-2023
Justice Coleman opens with a cricket metaphor. We would add that the Applicant is out for a duck. The application for judicial review of the Exchange's delisting decision is dismissed. The company did not show up, and the grounds are meritless.

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.

Calvin Francis Lo v Emily Lo
HK Court of Appeal, 25-Nov-2015
Mr Lo is refused leave to appeal, after a lengthy battle in which the couple, now named, blew an estimated HK$17m or 60% of their net worth in costs. Judge Bruno Chan in the court below said that the parties are "mainly to blame for this madness" but also criticised both solicitors Stevenson, Wong & Co and Hampton, Winter & Glynn, for failing to rein in their clients, which he called "unacceptable as both are specialists in this practice." Mr Lo is a technical representative of R.E. Lee International, a life insurance broker, of which his mother, Regina Lee Pui Chun, is CEO.
