    NG HON SUM v. LAM MAN LUNG AND ANOTHER

    Citation
    [2024] HKDC 415
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCEO7/2023

    The alleged remarks were ordinary Cantonese insults in the context of a political feud and heated quarrel and did not constitute unwelcome sexual advances, requests or conduct of a sexual nature under the SDO; the EOC's prior finding supported insufficient evidence of sexual conduct; the 2nd Respondent had taken reasonably practicable preventive and investigative steps under s46(3) SDO, so the claim against the 2nd Respondent was frivolous/misconceived and costs were properly awarded to the 2nd Respondent.
