The appeal is dismissed; the amended statement of claim is struck out in its entirety as an abuse of process and vexatious because it impermissibly seeks to re‑litigate issues already decided in disciplinary proceedings and on appeal, and because no sustainable private law duty of care arises from the statutory intervention scheme under the Legal Practitioners Ordinance; application to adduce fresh evidence dismissed for delay.
