We act for 803 Funds Limited in an application for leave for judicial review to challenge the decision of the Education Bureau refusing to disclose the names of the schools and teachers involved and the findings and results of the investigations in certain substantiated professional misconduct cases. On 20 April 2021, we attended a hearing at the High Court to oppose an application taken out by Hong Kong Professional Teachers' Union (the “HKPTU”) for leave to join in the legal proceeding as a party. Upon considering the evidence submitted by the HKPTU and also the submissions of the respective parties, the court agreed with our client’s opposition and rejected the HKPTU’s application on the ground that it will not be able to provide additional, material assistance on the law, fact or the consequences of the judgment and awarded costs in our client’s favour. This case is led by our Litigation Partner, Mr. Alex Chan, and assisted by our Associate, Mr. Alan So.
