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.

死因庭裁陳輝旺非法被殺 警員林偉榮再申覆核挑戰 官押明年訊、拒禁檢控
Taxi driver Chan Fai-wong argued with a passenger and was placed in a “chokehold” by a police officer while being arrested. Chan Fai-wong subsequently died while receiving hospital treatment. A coroner’s jury ruled for the second time this year that Chan Fai-wong was unlawfully killed. Police officer Lam Wai-wing again applied for judicial review to overturn the verdict and sought a temporary ban on the Department of Justice taking prosecution action. The High Court dealt with his application for an interim injunction on Wednesday (19th).
的士司機陳輝旺與乘客爭執，被警員拘捕時遭「箍頸」，其後在留醫期間死亡。死因庭陪審團今年第二次裁定陳「非法被殺」。警員林偉榮再次申司法覆核要求推翻裁決，並要求暫時禁止律政司採取檢控行動，高院周三（19 日）處理臨時禁制令申請。
林警指正申請法律支援，盼押後臨時禁制令及司法覆核申請，「希望法官大人畀個機會，同埋畀少少時間我，令到我喺有律師代表嘅情況下作供」。法官即日駁回其申請，強調除非情況非常特殊，否則法庭不會介入律政司檢控。
官又指，林似乎純粹是因為不滿裁決而提出覆核，其入稟狀亦不符合法定要求，但其挑戰的事宜具有重大重要性，故將許可聆訊押後至明年一月底。

督察涉衝燈撞的士致途人被波及 危駕致他人受嚴重傷害罪成 判240小時社服令
A 30-year-old male police inspector stationed in the East Kowloon Region allegedly ran a red light while driving his private car in Mong Kok during the early hours of 2023, when he was off duty, and collided with a taxi. The taxi lost control and knocked down a female pedestrian, who subsequently required an amputation. The inspector was charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury to another person and was earlier found guilty.
Acting Judge Kwok Fai (1965) Wong said at the District Court on Monday (September 1) that the contents of the defendant’s report were positive and that he had shown remorse. Taking into account that he had already been remanded for five weeks, the judge sentenced him to 240 hours of community service, disqualified him from driving for two years, and ordered him to complete a driving improvement course at his own expense. The defendant wiped away tears in the dock after the sentence was delivered, while his relatives and friends embraced and cried.

暫委法官黃國輝周一（9 月 1 日）於區域法院指，被告的報告內容正面、有悔意，考慮到他已還押 5 周，終判被告 240 小時社會服務令、停牌兩年，及須自費完成駕駛改進課程。被告聞判後於犯人欄內拭淚，其親友相擁而泣。

的士司機疑遭警員箍頸後亡 陪審團再裁非法被殺 鄧炳強：研究判詞再作行動
Taxi driver Chan Fai-wong was arrested in 2012 over a dispute with a passenger. During the incident, he was allegedly put in a chokehold by police officer Lam Wai-wing and taken to a police vehicle. He subsequently suffered displacement of the cervical vertebrae, developed bronchitis while receiving hospital treatment and eventually died. At an inquest, the jury today again returned a verdict of unlawful killing. Asked whether police would reopen the investigation, Secretary for Security Chris Tang said he had noted the relevant judgment in the case and that the authorities would study the judgment before taking further action.
Chris Tang met reporters after chairing a Fight Crime Committee meeting in the afternoon, with several media organisations focusing on the incident. TVB News asked Chris Tang whether police would reopen the investigation, whether the police officer involved at the time was still serving in the force and whether he would be suspended.

指警署內遭警打頭致腦出血、市民入稟索償 申禁警方銷毀CCTV片、披露警資料被拒
A man filed a claim against the Commissioner of Police last Wednesday (16), alleging that when he went to the report room at Mong Kok Police Station this month to complain about an officer’s rudeness, the officer instead said he would arrest him for criminal intimidation and struck the back of his head. He was later taken to hospital, where he was found to have suffered a brain haemorrhage. He is seeking 1.2 million in compensation from the police force.
The case came back before the District Court on Friday (25). The man said the case involved a criminal offence and applied for an injunction to prohibit the police from destroying the police station’s closed-circuit television footage. He also sought disclosure of information about the officers and the CCTV footage, and indicated that he intended to bring a private prosecution.
Judge Leung Kwok-on dismissed the plaintiff’s application, saying: “The court cannot force the government to do this or that, or not do this or that; the court does not have such power.” The judge also said that the plaintiff’s request for disclosure before the issues in dispute had been defined was “vague” and that he “cannot cast the net like a fisherman and take all the officers’ personal information”. The judge further said the case should be commenced as a personal injury claim rather than as an ordinary civil action. The case was adjourned to allow the plaintiff to consider whether to continue the proceedings or bring a separate case in another manner.
一名市民上周三（16 日）入稟控告警務處長，指本月赴旺角警署報案室，投訴警員不禮貌時，反遭警員稱要以刑事恐嚇罪拘捕，又拍打其後腦。男子送院後證實腦出血，民事入稟索償，要求警務處賠償 120 萬元。
案件周五（25 日）在區域法院再訊，男子指本案涉刑事罪行，因此申請禁制令，禁止警方銷毀警署閉路電視片段，又要求警方披露警員資料、閉路電視片段，另透露有意提出私人刑事檢控。
法官梁國安駁回原告申請，指「法庭唔可以強制政府做乜、唔做乜，法庭冇咁嘅權力」。官又指，在本案未定下爭議點時，原告便要求披露資料，是「虛無飄渺」，「唔可以咁漁翁撒網，攞晒警員個人資料」。官又提到，案件應以「人身傷亡」而非一般民事訴訟立案。官押後案件，待原告考慮是否繼續提控，或會否其他方式另立案件等。

市民稱到警署投訴警察時被打、求醫證實腦出血 向警務處長索償120萬元
A citizen filed a claim at the District Court on Wednesday (the 16th) against the Commissioner of Police, alleging that on the evening of 6 April this year, he went to the report room of Mong Kok Police Station to complain about police officers’ discourtesy during enforcement action, but was instead arrested by police officers on suspicion of criminal intimidation and other offences. He further alleges that police officers used excessive force against him, including striking the back of his head, causing his hat to fly off and making him dizzy. He was taken to hospital, where he was found to have suffered a brain haemorrhage.
The citizen considers that the police officers involved breached human rights law, and that the Commissioner of Police owed him duties of care and vicarious responsibility. He is seeking HK$1.2 million in compensation from the department. The Judiciary has not yet listed a hearing date.
Police said they would not comment because the case had entered judicial proceedings.

該市民認為涉事警務人員有違人權法，警務處長對此有謹慎及轉承責任，要求處方向他賠償 120 萬元。司法機構暫未顯示聆訊日期。
警方回覆指，由於案件已進入司法程序，警方不作評論。

WhatsApp群組煽惑殺警罪成囚22月 男子申保釋候上訴 高院即日拒絕
Three men were accused of making statements in a WhatsApp group in October 2019 threatening to kill police officers and their family members. After trial, they were convicted on two counts of inciting wounding with intent and each sentenced to 22 months in prison. One of the defendants applied in the High Court on Wednesday (26th) for bail pending an appeal, but the application was rejected the same day.
In her judgment, Court of Appeal judge Pang Min-ki quoted the defendant as saying that the Correctional Services Department had indicated he could be released as early as June this year, while the hearing of his appeal against sentence was scheduled for May. If he ultimately succeeded in his appeal, he might otherwise serve more time than his sentence, and he cited the University of Hong Kong Students’ Union Council’s “Kinson Cheung King-sang case” to argue that his appeal against sentence had a reasonable prospect of success.
The judge disagreed, saying that the trial court had already considered factors including the dissemination power of a private WhatsApp group, and did not consider that the appeal had a reasonable prospect of success. She also said that the present case could not be compared with the “Kinson Cheung King-sang case”. The judge added that the messages in question were bloody and brutal, inciting violence against police officers and their family members, and described them as “indiscriminate and without limits”.
3 名男子被指 2019 年 10 月，在 WhatsApp 群組揚言殺害警員及其家屬，經審訊後被裁定兩項「煽惑有意圖而傷人」罪成，各囚 22 個月。其中一被告周三（26 日）在高院申請保釋等候上訴，被即日駁回。
上訴庭法官潘敏琦在判詞引述該被告稱，懲教署指他最早今年 6 月可獲釋，但上訴刑期聆訊定在 5 月，若他最後上訴得直，屆時或會多服刑期，並引港大學生會評議會的「張敬生案」指其刑期上訴有合理成功機會。
官反駁指，原審已考慮了私人 WhatsApp 群組傳播力等因素，不認為上訴有合理成功機會，又指本案和「張敬生案」不可比較。官並指，涉案訊息血腥及殘暴，煽惑對警員和家人作暴力行為，形容是「無差別和無底線的」。

黎智英案｜黎周三作供 有市民輪候「47人案」後再排隊 警近距離看守排隊
The trial of Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai, who is charged with offences including conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, will resume at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts (temporarily acting as the High Court) on Wednesday (20th), with Lai expected to testify. The Judiciary announced on Tuesday (19th) that 70 seats in the main courtroom would be allocated to members of the public in the “Jimmy Lai case”, with a further 309 seats in an extension courtroom. On the same morning, after sentencing in the “47-person primary election case”, members of the public immediately returned to queue outside the court for seats to observe the Apple Daily case the following day. By the afternoon, about 50 people were queuing.
In the evening, police sent officers to form a line and observe the spectators face-to-face at close range. Members of the public in the queue said that some people tried to leave the queue in the evening to show support and see off a prison van, after which police immediately deployed several officers to monitor the entire viewing queue face-to-face. Reporters observed that at the peak, each officer guarded the queue from a distance of less than one metre, while some officers also watched what books people in the queue were reading. Some people queuing questioned whether police were trying to issue a warning, but said they were not worried: “If you’re worried, go home.”

6.9金鐘｜社工早前認襲警囚4月 受襲警向被告索償 官下令賠44.6萬元
After a million-person anti-extradition bill protest on June 9, 2019, large numbers of protesters gathered outside the Legislative Council protest area until the early hours of the following day. The 33-year-old social worker was alleged to have taken part in beating a police officer. He earlier pleaded guilty to unlawful assembly and assaulting a police officer, and was sentenced to four months in prison. The assaulted officer earlier filed a claim in the District Court seeking at least HK$200,000 from the social worker for his injuries and losses. Judge Phillis Lai Ping Loh handed down the judgment on Monday (the 11th), ordering the social worker to pay the male police officer HK$446,000 in compensation.
The judgment said that, in addition to the officer subsequently experiencing problems including headaches, nausea and anxiety, it accepted the police’s contention that the officer had been “brutally” assaulted by a group of protesters. The protesters’ blatant and malicious attack aggravated his emotional injury. As a law enforcement officer, being attacked while carrying out his duties was “a high degree of contempt and humiliation”. The judge ordered HK$100,000 in compensation for the plaintiff’s emotional injury.
2019 年 6 月 9 日百萬人反修例遊行後，大批示威者在立法會示威區外聚集至翌日凌晨。33 歲社工被指有份圍毆警員，早前承認非法集結及襲警罪，判監 4 個月。受襲警早前入稟區域法院，就其傷勢和損失向社工索償至少 20 萬元。法官羅麗萍周一（11 日）頒下判詞，下令社工向男警賠償 44.6 萬元。
判詞指，除了警員事後感頭痛、噁心、焦慮等問題外，亦接納警方一指，警員遭一群示威者「野蠻」地施襲，示威者明目張膽、惡意的襲擊，加重其情感傷害。警員作為執法者，在執行職務時受攻擊，「是一種高度的蔑視和羞辱」，官其中就原告的情感傷害，下令賠償 10 萬元。
