Disgusting Barristers in Hong Kong

蕭震然大律師俾香港大律師公會釘牌45個月 - Hong Kong Barrister Devin Sio Convicted of Misconduct and Suspended for 45 Months! 前青年民建聯副主席、「熊貓大狀」大律師蕭震然，早前處理一宗民事索償案，被投訴專業失當，又涉於另一事件接受紀律聆訊時提供假資料。據悉，大律師公會經調查後，周五（18 日）向會員發信，指蕭面對的 3 項投訴全部成立，被罰停牌共 45 個月，另須賠償當事人、繳罰款及聆訊費合共接近 45 萬元。信中提及，蕭震然的專業失當，對程序公義有不利影響，另批評他在聆訊中提供不實資訊，以誤導他所屬的專業組織，是在玩「貓戲老鼠」的把戲（playing cat-and-mouse）。 該 3 項對蕭震然的投訴分別為： （一）蕭在一宗 2017 年民事索償案中，代表原告人時專業失當； （二）蕭 2016 年時，以專業身分造訪某律師家中就案件開會，而非辦公室； （三）蕭 2020 年接受紀律審裁組聆訊時提供失實資料。 大律師公會將投訴轉介大律師紀律審裁組進行研訊。據了解，審裁組審議後，裁定 3 項對蕭的投訴均成立，並就首項投訴判蕭停牌 30 個月，須於 120 天內向原告賠償 39,500 元，亦即原告聘請他的律師費；就次項投訴，對蕭予以譴責，他須於 120 天內就違例罰款 2,500 元；至於第 3 項投訴，則罰停牌 15 個月，與首項投訴分期執行。此外，蕭須向大律師公會繳聆訊費約 406,800 元。 蕭對第一項投訴作出求情，指他失去所有工作委託、陷經濟困難，現靠家人財政支援維生，望給予他較長時間繳款。其餘兩投訴則沒求情。審裁組批蕭就另外兩項投訴，沒歉意或悔意，也沒表示將來如何不會重複犯錯。 https://thewitnesshk.com/%e7%86%8a%e8%b2%93%e5%a4%a7%e7%8b%80%e8%95%ad%e9%9c%87%e7%84%b6%e6%b6%89%e5%b0%88%e6%a5%ad%e5%a4%b1%e7%95%b6-%e5%a4%a7%e5%be%8b%e5%b8%ab%e5%85%ac%e6%9c%83%e6%8c%873%e6%8a%95%e8%a8%b4%e6%88%90%e7%ab%8b/ By Statement of Findin

Barrister Kelvin Leung & Solicitor How Chun Fai Are Disgusting Lawyers - [2022] HKCA 1414 - 大律師梁耀祥及律師侯振輝轉介予大律師公會及律師會採取紀律行動 本案上訴人分別是原被控疏忽過路但脫罪的尼泊爾籍女被告Thapa Kamala，以及原審時代表該被告但被罰支付訟費的大律師梁耀祥及律師侯振輝。高院首席法官潘兆初在判詞指，法庭在考慮整宗審訊的過程後，認為原審裁判官確沒有盡責去管理好審訊，以達致迅速作出公正裁決；控辯雙方亦沒有盡責去協助裁判官。首席法官對要批評裁判官及控辯雙方法律代表感不快，但如不作批評，就有違維護司法制度下的公眾利益之責任。 有關原審裁判官就訟費作出的裁決方面，判詞指出考慮裁判官在處理本案時的行為，包括與上訴方律師的爭執及曾還押上訴人等，均會令他人感到裁判官的訟費命令存有偏見。因此上訴庭下令撤銷原審的訟費令，並就訟費重新作頒令，指上訴人的行為自招嫌疑，故未能獲得訟費，且由於控方亦須就浪費法庭時間一事負責，故亦需自行支付訟費。另外對於梁大狀及侯律師方面，上訴庭亦指示高等法院司法常務官，轉介予大律師公會及律師會，讓2組織考慮是否應該對該2人的表現採取紀律行動。 案件編號：HCMA 309，366/2020 疏忽過路案審91日上訴庭批裁判官與律師無盡責判自行支付訟費 https://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/news/20220921/bkn-20220921165157767-0921_00822_001.html https://legalref.judiciary.hk/lrs/common/ju/ju_frame.jsp?DIS=147391&currpage=T
