梁卓然

English

David Leung SC is a Hong Kong Senior Counsel, called to the Bar in Hong Kong in 1998, appointed Senior Counsel in 2015 and now practising from Liberty 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 Leung; the letters patent and appointments took effect on 2 May 2015, with the admission ceremony held at 10am that day in Court 7 of the High Court; the Government also published the Chief Justice’s and the Secretary for Justice’s addresses at the ceremony the same day. The Judiciary biography issued that day recorded that he was then 48, held an LLB from the University of Hong Kong, was called in Hong Kong in 1998 and was then Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions. The biography also makes a point of institutional detail: Senior Counsel are not promoted by a court but appointed by the Chief Justice under section 31A, and the entry “Senior Counsel (2015)” in the Bar List is the record of that appointment. Neither the Bar List nor the appointment release records his earlier education in detail, the date he left the Department of Justice, or any later public office; those points are left blank rather than inferred.
