LexisNexis CPD Course: Practical Tips in Email Fraud Cases and New Solution under s. 25A, High Court Ordinance

Course Description


Mr. Dicky Cheung, Barrister at Garden Chambers, also as a counsel for a victim in an email fraud, has recently obtained a new relief under s. 38A of the District Court Ordinance, Cap 336  (equivalent to s. 25A of the High Court Ordinance, Cap 4), that the victim’s solicitors be authorised by the order of the Court to execute a transfer of the fraud proceeds directly back to victim.  He will share experience in that case.

Email fraud is commonplace in Hong Kong as an active international commercial city. For the unfortunate victim, it is a race against time to get the money back before it is further dissipated. The victim also faces extreme evidential difficulty in terms of tracing. What should the victim do in the civil court to obtain the justice he deserves promptly?

Increasingly, more recipients find themselves suddenly being sued for money to which they genuinely believed to be their entitlement. What can an innocent defendant do to protect himself?
