Hong Kong High Court judge Wilson Chan is facing fresh accusations of plagiarism, marking the third known instance in three years. The plaintiff in a recent case presided over by Chan alleges the judge directly copied substantial portions—95 percent—of the defendant’s arguments for his judgement. This incident follows previous reprimands for similar misconduct, raising concerns about the integrity of the Hong Kong judiciary. The copied sections reportedly included both opening and closing statements delivered by the defendant. This repeated behavior casts a shadow over Chan’s impartiality and professional ethics. The accusations are likely to fuel further debate regarding judicial accountability and the consequences for plagiarism within the legal system. No official response has been issued regarding these claims.
