 was recently a guest speaker at the Hong Kong Trustees’ Association 35

 Anniversary Conference titled “35 years of Transformation in the Hong Kong Trust Industry”, where he addressed recent jurisprudential developments in the private wealth and trust sphere and practical perspectives on common issues encountered by trustees in the administration of trust.

Special thanks to the Hong Kong Trustees’ Association for the invitation and organisation of the event.

The Temple Chambers Moot 2026 was held on Saturday, 15 August 2026. This year’s moot problem centred on the double proportionality test applied in 

The Hong Kong Journalists Association v The Commissioner for Transport

 [2026] HKCFI 917. Set in the context of a fictional judicial review against a policy restricting access to medical information, teams addressed both whether the policy is a proportionate restriction on the freedoms of expression and of the press, and whether the specific refusal made under that policy was itself lawful.

Teams from different universities presented arguments across three rounds. Judges praised the high standard of competition shown by all teams. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all participants for their contributions to this memorable event.

The winning team – Brian Liu and Lau Sum from the University of Hong Kong – edged out Chan Chak Fung Charles and James Andrew Collins from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the Grand Final, appearing before a panel comprising the Hon Mr Justice Russell Coleman, Judge of the Court of First Instance of the High Court (a former member of Chambers), 

. The Best Speaker was awarded to James Andrew Collins.

Special thanks go to Mr Justice Russell Coleman for graciously presiding over the final and sharing invaluable insights on advocacy in court proceedings. We would also like to thanks to 

 for judging the preliminary rounds of the Moot.

We look forward to welcoming another group of talented law students for the 2027 edition!
