前高級入境事務助理831太子站被捕 警方結案後遭革職 提覆核指局方無理拒信記錯
A former senior immigration assistant was arrested at Prince Edward station on August 31, 2019. Police closed the case the following year and returned the exhibits. The Civil Service Bureau subsequently launched an internal investigation and dismissed her in May this year. She earlier applied for judicial review, arguing that the bureau unreasonably refused to accept that her memory had been unclear when she gave evidence, causing her to misremember details including the route she had taken.
The case was heard in the High Court on Wednesday (10th). The applicant's side stressed that she had not deliberately concealed anything, but had simply misremembered her journey 18 months earlier. It said that experiencing pregnancy and childbirth, as well as facing heavy pressure, had affected her memory and performance during interviews. The bureau argued that she had been able to give a detailed account of the locations and times of other journeys that day and had clearly come prepared. It therefore concluded that she had deliberately provided misleading information to conceal the facts, and that the decision to dismiss her was not improper. Judge Ko Ho-man adjourned the case until February 13, 2026, for judgment.
一名前高級入境事務助理，2019 年 8 月 31 日在太子站被捕，警方翌年結案並歸還證物。公務員事務局其後展開內部調查，今年 5 月將她革職。她早前提出司法覆核，指局方無理拒納她作供時記憶模糊，以致記錯乘車路線等細節。
案件周三（10 日）於高等法院聆訊，申請方強調她並非刻意隱瞞，只是記錯 18 個月前的行程，而且因經歷懷孕分娩，又承受沉重壓力，影響記憶及會面表現。局方則指，她可仔細交代當日其他行程的地點及時間，明顯有備而來，故最後判斷她刻意提供誤導資料，以隱瞞事實，作出革職決定並無不妥。法官高浩文押後至 2026 年 2 月 13 日頒下判詞。

7.14沙田｜受傷警向兩示威者索償、稱患創傷後壓力症等 官裁可獲賠49.5萬元
On 14 July 2019, clashes occurred at New Town Plaza in Sha Tin, and two protesters accused of assaulting a police officer were sentenced to prison after earlier pleading guilty to rioting. The injured officer, Kwok Siu-hang, subsequently brought a civil claim for damages against the two. Judge Phillis Lai Ping Loh ruled in the District Court on Thursday (4th) that Kwok Siu-hang should receive HK$495,000 in damages, with the two also required to pay interest and legal costs.
The judgment said Kwok later developed moderate post-traumatic stress disorder, while his children were also bullied. Kwok also experienced prolonged insomnia and suicidal tendencies. Doctors advised him to avoid working in police uniform and said he was unsuitable to carry a firearm; he will also need ongoing psychiatric treatment. The judgment further said the protesters deliberately assaulted and publicly humiliated Kwok, causing him injury and serious humiliation, and that he was entitled to aggravated damages.

何俊仁被吊銷公證人執業資格7年 4宗反修例集會案罪成 審裁組指有損聲譽
Albert Ho Chun-yan, who is currently remanded in custody over the case in which the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China is accused of inciting subversion, was convicted of multiple offences, including inciting people knowingly to participate in unauthorised assemblies. The Government Gazette published on Friday (14th) said that in October this year, the Notaries Public Disciplinary Tribunal found that he had breached the Legal Practitioners Ordinance and that he had harmed the reputation of notaries public, and disqualified him from practising as a notary for seven years.

The offences arose from four anti-extradition bill assembly cases. In May this year, Ho was also found guilty of professional misconduct by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal in relation to his convictions in three of those cases, and was disqualified from practising as a solicitor for three months.

吳子樂被指2019年計劃製武器供他人襲警 被控串謀煽惑暴動等 高院申保釋被拒
Tsz Lok Ng and another man were arrested by the police’s National Security Department last month. They were accused of planning to make weapons and other items for protesters to attack police during the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement. The two men were charged with two offences, including conspiracy to incite participation in riots. Wu applied for bail at the High Court on Monday (the 10th). Wearing a grey shirt and with stubble, he appeared in court and looked in good spirits, greeting those in the public gallery before the hearing began.
After hearing submissions from both the prosecution and the defence, judge William Yiu Ho Tam refused Wu’s bail application. The case will return to court on 15 December.

林卓廷被控立會阻陳恒鑌、周浩鼎 獲裁無罪 官稱不能依賴陳與周證供
During the Legislative Council’s 2019 consideration of the bill to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, Lam Cheuk-ting was accused of approaching Abraham Razack in an attempt to seize the microphone and repeatedly speaking, thereby obstructing Chan Heng-pan and Holden Chow in the performance of their duties as legislators. After trial, he was acquitted by Magistrate Cheng Nim-chi on Thursday (6th). After the verdict, Lam shouted, “Thank you, Your Honour.”
The magistrate said Chan and Chow had been some distance from Razack and Lam. Although Chan and Chow had tried their best to recall what happened, the situation was chaotic, and their positions differed from Lam’s. They had subjectively believed that Lam approached in order to seize the microphone and had concluded that he was harassing them. Their evidence therefore could not be relied on.
The magistrate also said Lam testified that he had approached Razack to greet him, while Razack testified that Lam had indeed asked him, “Are you OK?” Razack also did not feel that Lam had used force when touching him. The magistrate considered that the accounts of the two men might be true, but dismissed Lam’s application for legal costs. The prosecution disclosed that police had called Razack’s office, where a staff member said Razack would not give a statement, “flatly saying that he was unwilling to testify.”
立法會 2019 年審議《逃犯條例》修訂法案，林卓廷被指接近石禮謙企圖搶咪並不斷說話，繼而妨礙陳恒鑌、周浩鼎執行議員職務。他經審訊後，周四（6 日）獲裁判官鄭念慈裁定無罪。宣判後，林卓廷高聲稱「感謝法官閣下」。
官指，陳恒鑌、周浩鼎身處位置與石禮謙、林卓廷有距離。儘管陳、周已盡量回想，惟情況混亂，加上兩人立場和林有別，涉主觀認為林接近為搶咪、認定林騷擾，故不能依賴兩人證供。
官又說，林卓廷供稱上前為問候石，而石亦供稱林確有問他「係咪 OK？」，亦感受不到林觸碰時用力，認為兩人說法可能為真，惟駁回林的訟費申請。控方透露，警方曾致電石禮謙辦事處，職員稱石不會給口供，「直情係話不願作供」。

理大突圍｜10人暴動判囚上訴得直 獲減刑2至6月 料大部分2026年獲釋
On 18 November 2019, police surrounded Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Eleven people accused of “breaking out” in the area of Cheong Wan Road were charged with rioting and sentenced to between 3 years 10 months and 6 years in prison. All 11 appealed against their sentences. Ten succeeded and had their terms reduced by 2 to 6 months; two of them failed in separate appeals against their convictions.
The appellants argued that the trial judge, Adriana Noelle Tse Ching, had set a starting point of 6 years for sentencing, which was too high. Citing the “Leung Tsz-yeung case”, in which the circumstances were similar, they argued that the starting point should have been 3 years. The judgment rejected this, saying that the protesters in this case confronted police for longer and attacked more aggressively, making the circumstances more serious than in that case. However, it agreed that one of the riot offences concerned only one day of the PolyU incident, and that the starting point should therefore be reduced slightly to 5 and a half years. It also took into account that one of the appellants, who worked as a nurse, took the risk of participating in anti-epidemic efforts in 2020, and exercised discretion to reduce the sentence by 2 months.
According to statistics compiled by The Witness, assuming that all 11 behave well in prison and receive the full one-third remission, two are expected to be released this year, seven next year, and the remaining two in 2028.
2019 年 11 月 18 日，警方圍堵理工大學，11 人被指在暢運道一帶「突圍而出」、被控暴動，判囚 3 年 10 月至 6 年。11 人就刑期提上訴，當中 10 人上訴得直，獲減刑 2 至 6 個月；其中兩人就定罪提上訴則失敗。
上訴方爭議，原審法官謝沈智慧以 6 年為量刑起點屬過高，參考背景相同的「梁子揚案」，應以 3 年為起點。判詞反駁，本案示威者與警方對峙時間更長、攻擊更激進，情節較該案嚴重。惟同意其中一項暴動罪，只針對理大事件其中一日，量刑起點應略為下調至 5 年半，另考慮其中一名任職護士的上訴人，於 2020 年冒險參與抗疫，酌情減刑 2 個月。
據《法庭線》統計，假設案中 11 人在獄中行為良好，獲全數三分一減刑，預料兩人於今年內獲釋，7 人明年獲釋，其餘兩人則於 2028 年獲釋。

7.14沙田｜受傷警向兩示威者索償 官斥原告大狀開案大部分屬「抄」、「複述」
Two protesters were accused of assaulting a police officer during clashes at Sha Tin New Town Plaza on 14 July 2019, and were earlier jailed after admitting the riot offence. Police officer Kwok Siu-hang, who was injured in the incident, previously brought a civil claim for damages against the two. The trial began at the District Court on Monday (20th).
Judge Phillis Lai Ping Loh spent more than half an hour criticising Sun Tsz-hang, the barrister representing Kwok, for having “copied word for word” the medical records and expert reports in his opening submissions, saying, “You would feel embarrassed yourself reading it.” The judge also said that more than half of the submissions consisted of repetition without explanation or summary, stressing that the court’s time was precious: “I have never seen an opening submission like this,” and “You have to put your heart into it.”
Kwok Siu-hang testified that he had experienced few physical problems after the incident, but that his mental condition became serious by 2022. “After being assaulted like that, I keep having dreams,” he said. He was subsequently reassigned to clerical duties and now has to receive regular psychiatric treatment. Closing submissions in the case will be made on Tuesday (21st).
2019 年 7 月 14 日，沙田新城市廣場發生衝突，兩名示威者被指毆打警員，早前承認暴動罪被判監。在事件中受傷的警員郭兆恒，早前循民事向兩人索償，周一（20 日）在區域法院開審。
法官羅麗萍花逾半小時，批評郭的代表大律師孫子恒，在開案陳詞將醫療紀錄、專家報告「一字不漏抄出嚟」、「你自己睇見都難堪啦」，又指當中逾半內容為複述，沒作出解釋、總結，強調法庭時間寶貴，「從來未見過一個咁樣嘅開案陳詞」、「你用個心去做先得㗎」。
郭兆恒則供稱，事發後身體沒甚麼問題，至 2022 年精神情況變得嚴重，「我俾人咁樣毆打，成日都會發夢」，其後被調任文書工作，現時須定期接受精神治療。案件周二（21 日）結案陳詞。

7.14沙田｜致總警司手指骨折 官判杜啟華須賠償逾15萬元 杜：終告一段落
On 14 July 2019, clashes between police and protesters broke out at New Town Plaza in Sha Tin. Demonstrator To Kai Wa was accused of biting off a sergeant’s finger and, in a criminal case, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for four offences including assaulting police and wounding. Leung Tsz-kin, then a senior superintendent whose finger was fractured after Tou struck him with an umbrella during the clashes, pursued compensation from Tou in a civil case.
District Court judge Phillis Lai Ping Loh said in a judgment handed down on Monday (6th) that To Kai Wa had sought to submit footage of the incident to prove that he had not come into contact with Leung. However, the footage had already been fully considered in the criminal case and constituted “facts already adjudicated”, the judge said, ruling that Tou had abused the legal process. In response to Tou’s claim that Leung’s failure to use suitable protective equipment had caused the injury, the judge rebuked him for reversing right and wrong and shifting blame, and ordered Tou to pay Leung more than $150,000 in compensation.
After the judgment, To Kai Wa said: “From 2019 to 2025, the long journey of legal disputes has finally come to an end. That’s pretty good.” He said his current financial situation was “not great”, but that he would do his best to fulfil his legal responsibilities, “continue to obey the law, and hopefully have the opportunity to study law again in the future.”
2019 年 7 月 14 日，沙田新城巿廣場爆發警民衝突，示威者杜啟華被指咬斷警長手指等，在刑事案中就襲警、傷人等 4 罪，被判囚 5 年半。在衝突中被杜用雨傘擊打導致手指骨折的時任高級警司梁子健，循民事向杜索償。
區域法院法官羅麗萍周一（6 日）頒判詞指，杜啟華欲呈案發片段，以證明沒接觸梁，惟此片段已在刑事案獲充分考慮，屬「已裁定事實」，指杜濫用司法程序。就杜稱，梁沒使用合適防護裝備致受傷，官斥他顛倒是非、諉過於人，裁定杜須向梁賠償逾 15 萬元。
杜啟華在判決後表示，「19 年到 25 年，悠長嘅法律爭議嘅旅途，終於告一段落，幾好吖」。他指，現時經濟狀況「幾麻麻」，但會盡量履行應有法律責任，「繼續守法啦，希望未來有機會讀返法律啦」。

林卓廷否認立會阻陳恒鑌、周浩鼎 石禮謙作供：林關心身體、沒感到有人欲傷害他人
The Legislative Council considered the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance amendment bill in 2019, while the Bills Committee held two parallel meetings. When pro-establishment lawmakers escorted James Tien to chair a meeting, pan-democratic lawmakers tried to stop them. Lam Cheuk-ting denied two charges of obstructing Chan Heng-pan and Holden Chow. The judge ruled that there was a case to answer. The trial entered its third day on Tuesday (30th), and the judge adjourned the case for closing submissions in late October and a verdict in early November.
Lam Cheuk-ting chose to testify, saying that before the meeting he had accepted that Tien was the lawful chair and knew that Tien had undergone heart surgery. He therefore told Tien that there would be no violent conduct that day. As the scene was noisy, Lam wanted Tien to hear his views, so he went behind Tien and touched his left arm to attract his attention. He also asked Tien to suspend the meeting, saying he “didn’t want anyone to get hurt”.
The defence also called James Tien to testify. He said that at the time of the incident only Gary Fan and Eddie Chu had tried to seize the microphone. Lam Cheuk-ting was concerned about his health and asked, “Are you all right? OK?” Tien also said that he never felt attacked, never felt that anyone intended to hurt anyone else, and never felt threatened by Lam. He considered Lam to be among those who were “not actively stopping” the obstruction.
立法會 2019 年審議《逃犯條例》修訂法案，法案委員會「鬧雙胞」。建制派護送石禮謙主持會議時被民主派議員阻止，林卓廷否認妨礙陳恒鑌、周浩鼎兩罪，官裁定表證成立，案件周二（30 日）進入第三日審訊，官押後 10 月底結案陳詞，11 月初裁決。
林卓廷選擇作供，稱在會議前已接受石為合法的主持，亦得悉他曾接受心臟手術，故向石表明當日不會有激烈行為。而現場嘈雜，林望石聽到其意見，故走到石的後方，並觸碰其左手手臂，希望引起石注意，期間亦曾要求石暫停會議，「唔想任何人受傷」。
辯方亦傳召石禮謙作供。他供稱，事發時只有范國威及朱凱廸曾嘗試搶咪，林卓廷在旁關心他的身體，問「無問題啊嘛？OK 嘛？」，石又指，沒一刻感受到有人襲擊他，沒感受到有人欲傷害他人，亦沒感受到林對自己有任何威脅，認為林屬「不積極阻止」一員。
