The Court held that, binding on local precedent, there is no tort of harassment under Hong Kong common law; however the defendant’s conduct (repeated shouting, aggressive gestures and spray‑painting) amounted to assault and the defendants caused actionable nuisance by excessive noise; accordingly tailored injunctions were granted to protect the plaintiffs and counterclaims were dismissed with a costs order nisi against the defendants.
