NGUYEN XUAN HOAN v. HUI SAU HUNG and YUNG WAI KUEN DCPI 1779/2005

S’s words:-
In the past, the plaintiffs could get sympathies from judges and obtain judgments in their favour. Unfortunately, the time was gone. Besides, even though a plaintiff is legally aided, it does not imply that he/she would win the case. That explains why I have personally advised many potential plaintiffs not to commence any legal proceedings at all.

Should we say if a plaintiff is legally aided, we can proceed the case for trial without due thought? The answer is negative. Although the legal representatives would in any event receive their legal costs and disbursements from Legal Aid Department, the public funds should only be used with sufficient reasons.

In my own view, the following case is a classical example that the Judge is definitely right to dismiss the claim.
