    SECRETARY FOR JUSTICE v. CHOY BING WING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP1313/2010

    The defendant, by sustained insulting and abusive language and scurrilous allegations against the Registrar incorporated into court documents and refused to be withdrawn in open court, thereby undermined the authority and dignity of the judicial office and, proven beyond reasonable doubt, committed the contempt of scandalising the court; his asserted justification based on delayed release of materials was rejected and there was insufficient proof of a deliberate scheme to obstruct justice.
