    He was also leading counsel in the recent case of Cheung Hay Shing v. Dr. Pang Ka Hung [2026] HKCFI 2386 involving the risks of neurological complications attendant upon microscopic brain surgery wherein the High Court adopted and explained the remit and application of the Montgomery principle governing informed consent for medical treatment.
