Solicitor Cheng No of Hong Kong; convicted thief

The Law Society of Hong Kong presented Cheng Tze Kui No with a law license in 1992 after she graduated from the University of Hong Kong School of Law. He also received a license to practice law in England and Wales in 1997, New South Wales in 1984 and Singapore in 1995.

The Law Society Disciplinary Counsel found Cheng guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Conduct unbecoming a solicitor
• Repeatedly failed to deliver the Accountant’s Reports of the Firm within the stipulated time to the Law Society in years 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2009 which compromised or impaired or was likely to compromise or impair a proper standard of work
• Failed to deliver the Firm’s 2009–2010 Accountant’s Report to the Law Society within the stipulated time in 2010
• Failed to keep properly written up books and accounts of the Firm’s client accounts from September 2010 to May2011
• Failed to prepare reconciliations of client accounts of all the bank accounts of the Firm from September 2010 to May 2011 save for one of the Firm’s banks for the months of August and September 2010 and for the Firm’s other bank for the month of August 2010
• Failed to produce to the Monitoring Accountants appointed by the Council of the Law Society (the “Council”) the Firm’s books and accounts for their inspection when they visited the Firm at the direction of the Council on 11 January, 18 April and 3 May 2011

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal punished Cheng by gifting him with a complimentary censure and a fine of HK$30,000.00 ($19,162.00 US).

As we speak (ca. February 2021), Cheng practices with Kwok Yih Chan at 9 Queen’s Road Central in Hong Kong.
