Formal Complaint Against DVC Barrister Barry Barlow SC - HCA 492 / 2020 [2021] HKCFI 1040 (08/04/2021)

I am lodging a formal complaint, as a member of the public, against Hong Kong Barrister Mr Barry Barlow SC of Des Voeux Chambers, 38/F, Gloucester Tower, The Landmark, Central, H.K.., for his blatant breach of paragraphs 4.1(b)(ii), 4.1(b)(iii), 4.1(c), 4.1(d) & 10.34 of the Bar Code, in that he had, in handling a simple application to amend a Defence to add a Counterclaim, completely failed to act competently, in that (1) he did not know the amendment should be done in the red colour pursuant to paragraph 2 of Practice Direction 19.1; (2) he did not know the Court's leave was required because pleadings were closed; and (3) he did not know it should be done by way of inter parte summons, instead of ex parte.


Mr Barry Barlow SC's ignorance in relation to this was worse than a PCLL student in a moot.  He was flagrantly incompetent and obviously so.  As a result of his flagrant incompetence, his client, Haldanes, had been ordered to pay indemnity costs in the sum of HK$12,980 to the Plaintiffs.  That could have been avoided had a competent pupil in limited practice been briefed to perform the task in place of Mr Barry Barlow SC.

The contents of this public judgment in DEEPAK PAGARANI AND OTHERS v. HALDANES SOLICITORS & NOTARIES (A FIRM) HCA 492 / 2020 [2021] HKCFI 1040 (08/04/2021) by Madam Justice Queeny Au-Yeung, where Mr Barry Barlow SC appeared as Counsel for the Defendant Haldanes, is self-explanatory: https://legalref.judiciary.hk/doc/judg/word/vetted/other/en/2020/HCA000492_2020.docx.

Please prosecute Hong Kong Barrister Mr Barry Barlow SC of Des Voeux Chambers for professional misconduct accordingly.
