The following cases were recently reported by the Hon Mr Justice Bokhary. See below for His Lordship’s remarks and observations by way of Editor’s Notes.

Securities and Futures Commission v Cheng Wai Tak (鄭偉德) [2024] 2 HKLRD 1023

“The Judge has identified the relevant conditions which have to be met and has explained why she considers none of them were met in regard to the first question and all of them met in regard to the second question.”

Yum Siu Wah v Wong Chi Shing [2024] 2 HKLRD 1292

“The main importance of this case lies in the fourth holding above, especially what is said about the conventional multiplier/multiplicand methodology.”

HKSAR v Chang Yau Hung Alexander (張有洪) [2024] 2 HKLRD 1367

“As a matter of law, the holdings on the grounds of appeal which failed, especially the second holding, are very considerably more important than the fact-specific holding, namely the fifth holding, under which the appeal met with some limited success.”

HKSAR v Ko Shui Ching (高水晶) [2024] 2 HKLRD 1429

“The Court dealt with when the Li Jin direction was appropriate and when it was not appropriate.”
