Mr Robert Pang SC leading Mr Michael Chai appeared for the successful defendant in the Court of First Instance in Tse Chun Wai v Leung Kwok Kin Joseph [2017] 4 HKLRD 563; [2017] 6 HKC 527, a case concerning illegality of contract. The Hon Bebe Chu J agreed with Mr Pang SC and Mr Chai that the House of Lords’ decision in Tinsley v Milligan [1994] 1 AC 340 continues to represent the law of Hong Kong despite the fact that it has been overruled by the majority of the UK Supreme Court in Patel v Mirza [2017] AC 467. Applying Tinsley, Her Ladyship dismissed the plaintiff’s contractual claim.
Mr Pang SC and Mr Chai were instructed by Joseph Leung & Associates.
