    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA344/2006

    The Registrar struck out the plaintiff's claims and dismissed the action against both defendants because the plaintiff failed to demonstrate a reasonable cause of action or loss, the 2nd defendant's advocacy conduct was protected by advocate's immunity in Hong Kong as applied here, and permitting the negligence action would constitute impermissible relitigation/abuse of process; consequently the action is dismissed with costs to the defendants.
