Junius Ho sues Alvin Yeung, Lam Cheuk-ting and Claudia Mo for defamation; court allows reliance on Lam’s riot conviction and adjourns case pending appeal
何君堯控郭榮鏗、林卓廷、毛孟靜誹謗 官准何依賴林暴動定罪 另准林押後待暴動上訴結果
Junius Ho filed a High Court action in 2019, alleging that three former Legislative Council members, Alvin Yeung, Lam Cheuk-ting and Claudia Mo, defamed him by calling him a “triad” while protesting outside the Police Tactical Unit Headquarters. He sought orders requiring the three to pay damages and restraining them from making related statements. The case was heard at the High Court on Tuesday (24th). Ho’s side had earlier applied to adduce as evidence the judgment convicting Lam of rioting in the 7.21 case. Lam’s side submitted that he was appealing against his riot conviction and sought an adjournment of the case. High Court Judge Keith Kar Hung Yeung approved both applications and also adjourned the proceedings against Yeung and Mo pending the outcome of the appeal.
何君堯 2019 年入稟高等法院，指 3 名前立法會議員郭榮鏗、林卓廷及毛孟靜在警察機動部隊總部外抗議時，誹謗他為「黑社會」，要求頒令 3 人賠償及禁制他們作相關言論。案件周二（24 日）於高等法院聆訊。 何君堯一方早前提出加入林卓廷在 721 案中暴動罪成的判決作為證據。林卓廷一方則提出，林正就暴動定罪提上訴，望官准押後本案。高院法官楊家雄決定批准兩方申請，並一併押後針對郭榮鏗及毛孟靜的訴訟，待上訴有結果。
