High Court judge Wilson Chan Ka-shun has a history of extensive plagiarism, with this being at least his seventh instance, leading to previous adjustments in his judicial duties in 2023 and 2024.
Hong Kong’s chief justice will once again reprimand a High Court judge and require him to undergo training after he was found to have plagiarised large swathes of submissions for a judgment, in what is at least his seventh instance of extensive copying.
In a response to the South China Morning Post on Wednesday, the judiciary said that Wilson Chan Ka-shun would face a “serious reprimand” from Chief Justice Andrew Cheung Kui-nung for the second time since 2023.
The judiciary said that in light of Chan’s previous instances of plagiarism in 2023 and 2024, it had adjusted Chan’s judicial duties last year and assigned him primarily to criminal cases that did not require written judgments.
It said the move was taken “so as to avoid occurrences of excessive judicial copying in his judgments”.
“As Mr Justice Wilson Chan’s judgment in the present case involved again a substantial amount of judicial copying, the Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal and the Chief Judge of the High Court will issue serious reprimand to [Chan] again regarding the matter and request him to undertake targeted training,” the judiciary said.
The Chief Judge of the High Court is Jeremy Poon Shiu-chor.
