警員稱被反警人士斬傷 入稟向警務處索償4百萬 其中150萬為私家精神科治療費
Late on 30 August 2019, an off-duty police officer was slashed with knives by three people at a bus stop outside the Goodrich Garden shopping centre opposite Kwai Chung Police Station. He was admitted to the intensive care unit for a period. A year later, police offered a HK$600,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspects. Nearly three years later, the officer filed a claim last year in the High Court against the Commissioner of Police, alleging negligence and breach of statutory duty, which resulted in him being assaulted by people opposed to the police during the anti-extradition bill protests. The case came before the High Court today (8th) for a checklist review hearing. It was disclosed in court that the officer’s claim amounted to HK$4.09 million, including HK$1.5 million in fees for consultations with private psychiatrists. Master Angela Sin Yee Kot questioned that the doctor’s report did not mention that the officer needed to switch to consultations with private doctors. She said that if this expense was not included as one of the heads of claim, the total claim would fall to HK$2.46 million, which would be within the jurisdiction of the District Court. The Master also said that it was common knowledge that patients had to wait for months or even years for treatment at public hospitals. The Master adjourned the case to 14 March next year for further directions from the plaintiff.
2019年8月30日深夜，一名休班警員於葵涌警署對開的好爵中心巴士站，被3人用刀斬傷，一度留醫深切治療部。警方一年後懸紅60萬通緝疑犯。事隔近3年，該警員去年入稟高等法院向警務處處長索償，指其涉疏忽及違反法定責任，導致他被反修例事件中反對警察人士襲擊。案件今（8日）在高院進行核對列表審核聆訊。庭上透露警員的索償金額為409萬，其中150萬為他向私家精神科醫生求診的費用。聆案官葛倩兒質疑，報告中醫生沒有提及警員需要轉為向私家醫生求診，她認為若然這項費用不被列作索償項目之一，整體索償額將會下降至246萬，並是區域法院可以處理的範圍。聆案官又指，公眾都知道公立醫院需輪候數月以至年計。聆案官將案押後至明年3月14日再訊，以待原告方索取指示。

2019年診所受催淚彈波及 醫生向警索償逾672萬 高院拒批准3名涉事警員匿名
On November 18, 2019, during a police operation to surround Polytechnic University, police fired tear gas. An ear, nose and throat doctor at a clinic in Tsim Sha Tsui alleged that officers mistakenly fired a tear-gas canister into the premises, causing a fire and damage to equipment. The doctor filed a claim against the Commissioner of Police in the High Court the year before last, seeking more than HK$6.72 million in damages. The Department of Justice applied for anonymity orders for the three officers involved. In a decision handed down by the High Court on Tuesday (19th), the court said the claim concerned allegations that the officers had abused their powers, making their ranks, identification numbers, duties at the time and orders relevant to the case. It also said existing laws, including injunctions against doxxing police officers and the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, were sufficient to protect the officers from doxxing, and ultimately refused to grant anonymity.
2019年11月18日，警方在圍堵理大行動期間發射催淚彈，尖沙咀一間診所的耳鼻喉科醫生指稱警員誤將催淚彈射進其單位，導致起火及設備損毁，前年入稟高院向警務處長索償逾672萬元。律政司替3名涉事警員申請匿名令，高院周二（19日）頒下決定，指是次申索關乎他們被指控濫用權力，因此警員職級、編號、當時職務及指令於本案而言是重要，加上現行法律包括針對「起底」警員的禁制令及個人資料私隱條例，已足夠保護涉事警員免受「起底」，最終拒絕批准匿名。

六旬翁否認街頭無牌奏二胡 指「無休止控訴」向控方索償100萬元 10.24裁決
Lee Kai-sun, a man in his sixties who was previously charged with performing “Glory to Hong Kong” on the erhu without a licence and was eventually acquitted, is alleged to have performed and raised funds without a licence in Tai Wai, Mong Kok and Central between 2021 and 2022. He was summoned on seven charges. The case continued at Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts on Monday (the 28th).n
Lee “counter-sued” the prosecution in court, saying that over the past four years he had attended hearings at different courts because of his street performances, describing it as “endless prosecution”. He said the prosecution’s submission of further documents had placed him under great pressure and caused him to suffer a mental breakdown, adding, “It appears the prosecution will not stop until it has put me to death.” He therefore sought HK$1 million in compensation from the prosecution. Magistrate CHAN Wai-mun adjourned the case until Oct. 24 for a ruling.
