Hong Kong High Court Judge Faces Second Reprimand for Plagiarism

Hong Kong's chief justice will formally reprimand a High Court judge for the second time over plagiarism. The judge, Wilson Chan Ka-shun, was found to have copied large sections of submissions for a court judgment, marking at least the sixth time he has engaged in extensive copying. The judiciary confirmed on Wednesday that Chief Justice Andrew Cheung Kui-nung will issue a “serious reprimand” and require Chan to undergo further training. The reprimand follows a similar disciplinary action taken against Chan in 2023. The case has drawn attention to judicial standards in Hong Kong. The judiciary did not provide details on the specific judgment involved or the training required. Chan has not publicly commented on the latest finding. The repeated copying incidents have raised concerns about oversight and accountability within the judiciary. According to the judiciary's statement, the chief justice is taking appropriate action to maintain standards. The matter is seen as a test of Hong Kong's judicial system under its current leadership.
