Our firm has acted for Mr. Lee Ka Chiu John in an application for relief from the Court under section 88 of the Electoral Procedure (Chief Executive Election) Regulation (Cap. 541J) in relation to the submission of three Consent of Support Forms for the 2022 Chief Executive Election.

 

After considering the written and oral submissions, The Honourable Madam Justice Au-Yeung is satisfied from the explanation that this is not a case where someone turned a blind eye to legal requirements, and that the whole course of conduct suggests that the non-compliance was purely out of inadvertence in the midst of heavy workload, tight timeframes, limited manpower and lack of communication with no bad faith involved. As such, Her Ladyship considers it just to grant the relief sought.

 

This case is led by our Senior Partner, Mr. Peter Sit, and assisted by our Associate, Mr. Alan So.
