    HCA3199/1985

    Given the letter explicitly identified the plaintiff as a solicitor and attacked his integrity, was published to his immediate community shortly before an election, and the defendant offered no apology indicating malice, the court awarded damages of HKD 65,000 reflecting serious local reputational harm tempered by limited circulation.
