HKROLIN Files Judicial Misconduct Complaint
Against CFA Appeal Committee Over Constitutional Dereliction
in Tim Owen / Jimmy Lai Case
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12 August 2025｜Hong Kong
Hong Kong — The Hong Kong Rule of Law Initiative (HKROLIN) Institute today submitted Judicial Accountability Complaint #2A to the Secretariat for Complaints against Judicial Conduct, alleging serious misconduct by the Court of Final Appeal (CFA) Appeal Committee in its handling of FAMV103/2024 — the case arising from the Hong Kong Government’s denial of a work visa to eminent UK barrister Timothy Owen KC. The denial was based on the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPCSC)’s 2022 interpretation of the Hong Kong National Security Law (HKNSL).
Mr Owen had previously been approved by the CFA Appeal Committee to represent democracy advocate and imprisoned media entrepreneur Jimmy Lai in December 2022 (the “Owen case”).
Complaint #2A builds on HKROLIN’s earlier filings — Complaint #2 (15 April 2024) and Annex 2 (3 September 2024) — which argued that the NPCSC’s 2022 interpretation was legally ambiguous, non-binding under HKNSL Article 65, and unconstitutional under Basic Law (BL) Articles 4, 19, and 22(1). It further alleges that the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of the HKSAR (NSC), as a Central People’s Government organ, acted ultra vires in interfering with Hong Kong’s internal affairs, and that the CFA Appeal Committee failed to uphold judicial independence.

Open Letter to the Honourable Sam Hou Fai, Chief Executive
Macao Special Administrative Region:
Unlawful Arrest of Mr Au Kam San Under National Security Law
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 01 August 2025 ｜Macao
From: Hong Kong Rule of Law Initiative (HKROLIN)
Dear Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai,
The Hong Kong Rule of Law Initiative (HKROLIN), an independent legal watchdog committed to upholding constitutional rights and judicial integrity under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework, expresses profound concern regarding the arrest of Mr Au Kam San on 30 July 2025 under Article 13 of Macau’s National Security Law (NSL).
As Macau’s former President of the Court of Final Appeal (1999–2024), now serving as Chief Executive, you are uniquely positioned to ensure that Macau’s law enforcement practices reflect its civil law traditions, Basic Law guarantees, and international obligations.
This arrest appears to contravene both domestic legal standards and applicable international norms. We urge your administration to review and rectify what amounts to an unlawful deprivation of liberty based on vague, extrajudicial allegations—ones resembling the problematic reintroduction of sedition charges in Hong Kong, which have no legal basis under Macau law.

A Call for Accountability at Hong Kong’s Top Court
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10 June 2025｜Hong Kong
Dear Fellow Hongkongers,
Today, we launch the HKROLIN Institute (https://hkrolin.org), a new initiative dedicated to defending judicial accountability and the rule of law. On this first anniversary of Lord Sumption’s stark warning—“the rule of law in Hong Kong is in grave danger” (Financial Times, 10 June 2024)—we present clear evidence of judicial overreach by Hong Kong’s apex court: the Court of Final Appeal (CFA).
This is not a political campaign. It is a call to conscience—rooted in our constitutional framework and civic duty.

終審法院不當二：Tim Owen／黎智英案 📁 文件索引
香港法治行動中心就終審法院上訴委員會在
「Tim Owen／黎智英」案中違憲失職提交司法失德投訴
【香港訊】香港法治行動中心（HKROLIN Institute）今日向《投訴法官行為秘書處》正式提交《司法問責申訴書》第2A號，指控終審法院（下稱「終院」）上訴委員會在處理 FAMV103/2024 一案時，存在嚴重司法失德。該案涉及特區政府以全國人民代表大會常務委員會（全國人大常委會，NPCSC）於2022年對《港區國安法》（HKNSL）作出的釋法為依據，拒絕向英國御用大律師 Timothy Owen KC 簽發工作簽證。
Owen 大律師早於2022年12月已獲終院上訴委員會批准，代表前《蘋果日報》創辦人黎智英出庭（下稱「Owen案」）。
第2A號投訴承接HKROLIN於2024年4月15日提交的第2號投訴及2024年9月3日提交的《附件二》，重申全國人大常委會於2022年所作釋法根據《港區國安法》第65條，對香港法院並無約束力，法律上亦含糊不清，並違反《基本法》第4條、第19條及第22條第1款。投訴亦指出，香港特別行政區維護國家安全委員會（國安委）作為中央人民政府機關，無權干預香港事務，其行為屬越權（ultra vires），而終院上訴委員會未有履行維護司法獨立的憲制責任。

關於區錦新先生在《國家安全法》下被拘捕事件之公開信
即時發布 2025年8月1日｜澳門
發出機構：香港法治行動（HKROLIN）
尊敬的岑特首閣下：
香港法治行動（HKROLIN）為一獨立法律監察機構，致力於在「一國兩制」架構下促進憲政意識與司法公正。我們對貴府於2025年7月30日依《澳門國家安全法》第13條拘捕前立法會議員區錦新先生，表示高度關注。
閣下曾任終審法院院長（1999–2024），現任行政長官，肩負維護澳門法律制度之專業性與公信力。然而本案所涉指控內容含糊，法律依據亦未予清晰界定；所援引如「煽動仇恨」等概念，實源自香港《維護國家安全條例》，並非澳門現行法制所載。如此張冠李戴，不僅混淆兩地法律體系，更可能動搖澳門法治架構之穩定與制度一致性。

致香港市民：終院問責公開信 (2025-06-10)
即時發布 2025年6月10日｜香港
親愛的香港市民：
香港法治行動中心（HKROLIN Institute）今日正式成立（https://hkrolin.org），以捍衛司法問責與憲制法治為使命。
一年前，前終院海外非常任法官岑耀信勳爵 （Lord Sumption）在《金融時報》警告：「香港法治岌岌可危」（2024年6月10日）。今天，我們帶來終審法院（CFA）司法越權的實證，呼籲公眾正視終院所肩負的憲制責任。
這不是政治號召，而是一場基於憲制責任與公民良知的公開呼籲。
