    TSOI HING WO v. THE DENTAL COUNCIL OF HONG KONG
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV157/2005

    The Court held that the PIC acted beyond its statutory powers by revising and preferring charges after it had considered the complaints and determined that no inquiry should be held; that procedural non-compliance with the Regulations rendered the subsequent Dental Council inquiry and findings void; accordingly the appeals were allowed and the Dental Council’s decisions quashed. The Court left open the substantive question whether the appellants’ conduct amounted to unprofessional conduct.
