Law Firm Stephenson Harwood Filed Rubbish Into Court - Li Chun Pong Raymond (李振邦) v Li Maggie Hang Yung (李杏容) [2024] HKDC 1211 - Fatally Defective Pleading Done Incompetently By Hong Kong Law Firm Stephenson Harwood Solicitors https://legalref.judiciary.hk/ lrs/common/ju/ju_frame.jsp? DIS=161570&currpage=T //146… Litigants and solicitors are reminded that a court of law is not, and should never be treated as, a rubbish bin. Litigants and solicitors should not file rubbish into court. For solicitors in particular, as DHCJ Herbert Au-Yeung (as His Lordship then was) had aptly stated in JTM324 Strategic Advisors, Inc v Permex Co Ltd [2023] 1 HKLRD 1437 [2023] HKCFI 403 (at §29), their duty to the court itself prevails over their duty to their client. Filing defective pleadings into court and keeping them defective on purpose would adversely affect the court’s duty to administer civil justice efficiently and effectively and is unacceptable.//
