We prevailed in another appeal to the Court of Appeal which was brought from an order of a professional disciplinary tribunal. Pursuant to the relevant professional rule, our client requested an answer from the Appellant to a specific question in relation to a complaint lodged against him. The Appellant failed to reply promptly and satisfactorily and was disciplined by the tribunal as a result. Upholding the tribunal’s order, the Court of Appeal held that the two major grounds of appeal, namely, privilege against self-incrimination as well as the principle of res judicata, had no merit.

This case was handled by Mr. Peter Sit, our Senior Partner, assisted by Mr. Tommy Tam, our partner and Ms. Caddy Mo, trainee solicitor.
