City’s biggest lawyer group did not disclose how many members received letters over complaints involving 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund
Hong Kong’s biggest lawyer group has sent warning letters to some of its members for accepting fees from a now-defunct defence fund for protesters involved in the 2019 social unrest, after the organisation wrapped up an investigation into 16 complaints.
The Law Society of Hong Kong did not reveal on Monday how many lawyers had received the letters over professional misconduct complaints related to the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund.
“The society has issued different warning or closing letters to the relevant lawyers who were the subject of the complaints, including letters of disapproval, regret and advisory ones on good practice,” society president Roden Tong Man-lung said.
