潘熙

English

Hectar Pun SC is a Hong Kong Senior Counsel, called to the Bar in Hong Kong in 1995, appointed Senior Counsel in 2015 and practising from Denis Chang’s Chambers. On 31 March 2015 the Chief Justice, Geoffrey Ma, announced under section 31A of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance the appointment of ten Senior Counsel, including Pun; the appointments took effect on 2 May 2015, with the admission ceremony held at 10am that day in Court 7 of the High Court. The Judiciary biography recorded that he was then 43, held an LLB from City University of Hong Kong, and practised mainly in public law. All ten appointments took effect on the same day; the instrument is section 31A of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance and the announcement is made by the Chief Justice. The Bar List’s 1995 admission year and the 2015 appointment year are twenty years apart, and the two numbers describe different things — the start of practice and professional standing — so neither replaces the other. The Bar List footnote makes two points: the year of call is not the year practice began and need not reflect seniority, and the list records only chambers and admission years. Beyond his education and practice area, his other experience, public offices and writings are therefore left blank rather than inferred.
