John Reading SC and Henry Chung Secured Acquittal for Director of Jacobs
John Reading SC and Henry Chung of Pacific Chambers, together with Mr. Benson Tsoi of Parkside Chambers, represented Mr. Leslie Swann, the Project Director and the second defendant in HKSAR v Leung & Ors (DCCC 1065/2021), a long running fraud trial concerning an alleged failure to disclose misconduct by technicians in testing concrete used in the construction of Hong Kong-Macau-Zhuhai Bridge.
Mr. Swann, aged 72 and a well-respected Engineer, was found not guilty of both charges by Her Honour Judge Ada Yim in the District Court. He had had the case hanging over his head for over 7 years. Counsel also acknowledged the considerable contribution of our instructing solicitors, Mark Side and Kritika Sethia of Tanner De Witt.
