高才通內地申請人涉虛報資料以獲批一家三口留港 被改控串謀詐騙明年1月答辯
A 47-year-old Chinese national allegedly falsely stated when applying to come to Hong Kong under the High Talent Pass Scheme that he had been awarded a Bachelor of International Business degree by Monash University in Australia. He later allegedly claimed that his education level was a higher education degree when applying for a Hong Kong identity card. The defendant was previously charged with “arranging for a false statement to be made to obtain an entry permit” and “providing false particulars to a registration officer”. The case was brought before the Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts again on Monday (December 1).
The prosecution applied to withdraw the charge of “providing false particulars to a registration officer” and amend the charge to conspiracy to defraud. It alleged that the defendant conspired with others to falsely state that he met the eligibility requirements when applying under the High Talent Pass Scheme, thereby inducing the Immigration Department to approve the stay of his family of three in Hong Kong. The defence applied for an adjournment to obtain documents and legal advice. Acting Principal Magistrate Kei Hong Cheang approved both applications and adjourned the case to January 12 next year for plea. The defendant was granted bail during this period on conditions including HK$200,000 cash bail and a HK$200,000 surety.
47 歲中國籍男子涉申請「高才通」來港時，虛報獲澳洲蒙納士大學頒授國際企業學士學位，其後於香港申請身份證時，假稱教育程度為高等教育學位。被告早前被控「為取得入境證而安排作出虛假陳述」及「向登記主任提供虛假詳情」兩罪。案件周一（12 月 1 日）在沙田裁判法院再訊。
控方申請撤回「向登記主任提供虛假詳情」罪，並修訂控罪為「串謀詐騙」，指被告串謀他人在申請「高才通」時，虛報自己符合資格，誘使入境處批准其一家三口留港。辯方申請押後，以待索取文件及法律意見。署理主任裁判官鄭紀航批准雙方申請，將案件押至明年 1 月 12 日答辯，期間被告獲准以 20 萬元現金、20 萬元人事擔保等條件保釋。

大坑西邨居民第二宗司法覆核被駁回 判詞指理據不涉公法 另批撰入稟狀大狀內容冗長
As redevelopment of Tai Hang Sai Estate in Shek Kip Mei proceeds, residents brought a second judicial review, alleging that Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation’s review of rehousing eligibility, failure to provide proper rehousing and requirement for them to declare that they would waive their rights to pursue claims were unjust, unreasonable and ultra vires. They also alleged that the Town Planning Board had erred by treating rehousing terms as guidelines in the past.
The High Court’s Mr Justice Ko Ho-man earlier refused leave for the application. In a judgment handed down on Friday (28th), he said the residents’ grounds did not concern public law and were unrelated to the relief sought. The judgment also repeatedly criticised the barrister who drafted the pleadings, saying they were lengthy and difficult to understand, and had wasted the applicants’ money and the court’s time. The situation improved only after the plaintiffs changed barristers. The judge said this could be described as an “unfortunate start” for the applicants, but, leaving that aside, the case still failed to meet the threshold for leave.
正清拆重建的石硤尾大坑西邨，有居民提出第二宗司法覆核，指興建與管理該邨的「平民屋宇」審查回遷資格、沒妥善安置、要求聲明放棄追訴權等做法，屬不公義、不合理及越權，而城規會早年把安置條款列為指引性質屬錯誤。
高等法院高浩文早前駁回許可申請，周五（28 日）頒下判詞，指居民的申請理據不涉公法，亦與尋求的濟助沒關聯。判詞又多次批評撰寫入稟狀的大狀，指其內容冗長、令人費解，浪費申請人金錢及法庭時間，直至原告更換大狀情況才改善。官指對申請人而言，可說是個「不幸的開端」，惟撇開這一點，本案仍未能滿足申請門檻。

宏福苑五級火｜涉事承辦商是誰？ 「宏業」十被控違職安例、三宗涉棚架安全 曾遭屋宇署紀律處分
The No. 5 alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po had caused 94 deaths by Friday morning (the 28th). Police arrested three senior executives of the engineering company responsible for the building’s maintenance on suspicion of manslaughter. Records show that Wang Yip Construction Engineering, the contractor involved, was established in 2004 and had been involved in multiple civil lawsuits concerning construction works, employment claims and personal injury. Since 2022, the company has been charged at least 10 times with violating occupational safety legislation, with three of the cases involving scaffold safety. About 10 years ago, the company also breached the Buildings Ordinance. In 2023, it was disciplined by the Buildings Department for “negligent misconduct” and barred from carrying out minor works for four months, as well as fined HK$50,000.
大埔宏福苑五級火，至周五（28日）早上造成 94 人死亡，警方以涉嫌誤殺，拘捕負責大廈維修的工程公司三名高層。翻查資料，涉事的宏業建築工程於 2004 年成立，曾捲入多宗涉及工程的民事訴訟、勞資索償，以至人身傷亡訴訟。由 2022 年至今， 該公司最少十度被控違反職業安全法例，其中三次控罪涉及棚架安全；另外，公司約十年前違《建築物條例》，在 2023 年因「疏忽不當」被屋宇署紀律處分，被禁進行小型工程四個月以及罰款五萬元。

膳心小館遭檢走月餅放棄申訴 食環署一方要求由法庭撤銷申訴「確立行動無錯」
The social enterprise “Agape Garden” was searched by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) last year, and its mooncakes were seized. It subsequently appealed to the court, seeking an order quashing the department’s decision and compensation. FEHD staff later testified at the hearing that the mooncakes were exhibits in a criminal case and that the Department of Justice had been consulted before the action was taken. Magistrate Pang Leung-ting raised concerns that the Department of Justice’s prosecutorial decisions were not subject to interference, and “Agape Garden” decided to abandon the appeal.
The case returned to Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (27th). The FEHD side said the court should not approve the Sin Sum side’s withdrawal of the appeal, but should instead dismiss the appeal itself. The magistrate asked what the difference was. The department said the court’s ruling would “establish that the FEHD’s action at the time was without error and was correct, which would have far-reaching significance for the FEHD’s subsequent enforcement”. The magistrate adjourned the case to 23 December for a decision.
社企「膳心小館」去年遭食環署查封及檢走月餅，其後向法庭申訴，要求頒令撤銷署方決定及賠償。食環署職員其後在審訊供稱，月餅為刑事案證物，行動前已徵詢律政司意見。裁判官彭亮廷關注，律政司檢控決定不受干預，「膳心小館」決定放棄申訴。
案件周四（27 日）在觀塘裁判法院再訊。食環署一方指，法庭不應批准「膳心」一方撤回申訴，而是由法庭撤銷其申訴。官問兩者有何分別？署方指，「法庭嘅裁斷，確立當時食環署行動係無錯、係正確，對食環署之後執法，有深遠意義喺度」。官押至 12 月 23 日裁決。

「釋放令」覆核案｜已獲撤令、自資提覆核望造福社區 夏志偉勝訴：活出一點點意義
After several assault cases involving people with mental illness occurred in 2023, the Health Bureau considered expanding the scope of “conditional release” (CD) arrangements for psychiatric patients discharged from hospital, but ultimately shelved the plan. Ha Chi-wai, who had been subject to an order for 10 years and had failed four applications to have it revoked as well as a judicial review, filed a judicial review in the High Court at the end of the same year. It was the first such case since CD was introduced in 1988.
Ha sought declarations that the Hospital Authority, the tribunal and the hospital superintendent had failed to comply with their statutory duties to explain patients’ rights to him, resulting in procedural unfairness. After waiting for more than a year and a half, the court handed down its judgment today (the 24th), ruling in Ha’s favour. It held that the hospital and the Hospital Authority had breached common-law requirements and had a duty to ensure that patients understood their right to apply for a review. Regarding the judicial review outcome, Ha said he did not yet know whether the other side would appeal, but believed that the result had already become a precedent that could help many people. “In that case, even the first half of my life, which was completely meaningless, can be said to have gained a little meaning!”
2023 年數宗涉精神病人的襲擊案件發生後，醫衞局一度考慮擴大精神科病人出院安排的「有條件釋放」(CD) 範圍，最終擱置。曾持令十年、四次申撤令兼覆核失敗的病人夏志偉，同年底入稟高等法提司法覆核，是 CD 自 1988 年實施已來的首宗案例。
夏志偉要求法庭宣告醫管局、審裁處及醫院院長沒遵照法定責任，向他解釋病人權利，構成程序不公。等待逾一年半，法院今（24日）頒下判詞，裁定夏志偉勝訴，指院方及醫管局違反普通法要求，並有責任確保病人明白申請覆核的權利。對於司法覆核結果，夏志偉說尚未知對方會否上訴，但相信現階段結果已成案例，可以幫到很多人，「這樣，完全沒有意義的前大半生，也算是活出一點點意義！」

一拳書館辦西班牙文興趣班 被指違《教育條例》 遭票控「管理未經註冊學校」等5罪
The Sham Shui Po independent bookstore Yat Poon Bookshop previously held a Spanish interest class. Its owner, Yat Ming Pong, and the company concerned were accused of violating the Education Ordinance and charged with five offences, including “managing an unregistered school” and “permitting an unregistered teacher to teach in a school”. They appeared for the first time at Kowloon City Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (20th).
The charges allege that the company permitted an unregistered teacher to teach at a school named “Yat Poon Bookshop”. Yat Ming Pong, who was not represented by a lawyer, appeared in person and applied for an adjournment to obtain documents. Magistrate Qingdong Zeng approved the application and adjourned the case to 8 January 2026 for a further hearing.
Speaking outside court, Yat Ming Pong said the Education Bureau had conducted an inspection earlier but had not taken further action. They said, “At first I thought, does this mean there would be no prosecution?”, but received notification that they had been prosecuted on the last day of the six-month prosecution period and felt “a bit taken aback”.
