Geoffrey Yeung has published an article in Hong Kong Law Journal as part of a festschrift in honour of Professor Johannes Chan SC
We are delighted to see that our member, Geoffrey Yeung, has published an article in the latest issue of the Hong Kong Law Journal, as part of a festschrift in honour of Professor Johannes Chan SC.
The article, “In Celebration of Professor Johannes Chan, S.C. (Hon.): Notes on The Value of Comparative Human Rights Law in Hong Kong” seeks to demonstrate the value of comparative human rights law in the development of the fundamental rights jurisprudence in Hong Kong, including in the adoption and development of the proportionality analysis, in the interpretation of art 10 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights and in examining rights restrictions under the proportionality analysis. In doing so, the article hopes to highlight the important contributions of Professor Johannes Chan SC to the law as the first and only Honorary Senior Counsel in Hong Kong.
We invite you to explore the entire collection of articles that celebrate the extensive contributions of Professor Johannes Chan SC throughout his distinguished career.
The full article is available on Westlaw and a link to the table of contents of the latest issue can be found here: https://web.law.hku.hk/hklj/2023-Vol-53.php
