新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws alumni dinner in Hong Kong

8 December 2016

On 5 December 2016, 新香港六合彩开奖结果Professor Sir Robin Jacob and Vice-Dean of Laws (Education) Ms. Olga Thomas were honoured at a lecture/reception/dinner held at the exclusive Sports Club in Central, Hong Kong

Hong Kong Reception

Sir Robin gave a wide ranging talk entitled 鈥淭he Death of Intellectual Property?,鈥 attended by celebrity alumni, including Permanent Judge of the Court of Final Appeal, the Hon. Mr Justice Joseph Fok; Legislative Council & Executive Council Member, Mr. Martin Liao; Chairman of the Bar Association, Ms. Winnie Tam S.C. and Mr. Winston Chu. During a lively Q & A session, Sir Robin and participants shared their experiences on how IP law was developing in the PRC and other judicial systems. 听Students, student counsellors, laws and non-laws alumni also attended the talk.

There followed a free drinks reception with about 100 guests of different age groups flowing into the club and creating a fantastic energy and buzz inside the ballroom as well as the adjoining terrace on a beautiful December evening, perfect for an al fresco inside鈥搊ut event.

Before the banquet, more V.I.P.s joined the reception, including President of the Bentham Association and Chief Justice the Hon. Mr. Justice Geoffrey Ma; former Vice-President of the Court of Appeal, Mr. Justice Woo Kwok Hing; Companies Court Judge, Mr. Justice Jonathan Harris; former Solicitor General Mr. Daniel Fung S.C.; and Chairman & C.E.O. of First Eastern Investment Group, Mr. Victor Chu.

The evening was filled with fun, music and magic, with the audience treated to an acapella group, a singer and band called 鈥淛eremy Bentham & the Utilitarian Band Live,鈥 a dance act and a magician.

As Dean of Laws, Professor Dame Hazel Genn was unable to join the Hong Kong party, she broadcast a pre-recorded video message about the Bentham House redevelopment and the contributions of Hong Kong students and alumni to UCL.

Olga Thomas,听Vice Dean (Education) and Faculty Tutor at 新香港六合彩开奖结果Faculty of Laws, said:

鈥楢n evening of great fun and entertainment was organised by the Hong Kong Laws Alumni Association. It was an absolute pleasure to attend such an enjoyable event and to meet so many of our Hong Kong alumni. The Faculty enjoys a close, special and increasingly important relationship with the Hong Kong Laws Alumni which this event certainly punctuated and it was a privilege to witness the alumni鈥檚 total commitment to 新香港六合彩开奖结果and their tireless support and enthusiasm for our Faculty鈥檚 work and mission.鈥

We were then treated to a sumptuous Chinese banquet featuring old-style Chinese regional cuisine from a by-gone era. The food was beautifully paired with Dom Perignon (sponsored by Winston Chu) and Bordeaux including Chateau Angelouse from Mr. Vincent Cheung鈥檚 magnificent collection.

The main aim of the night was for the 新香港六合彩开奖结果Scholarship Hong Kong Foundation Ltd (a locally registered charity) to raise money for 新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws. The charitable donations were tax deductible and Vincent Cheung generously offered to match donations 1:1.听To date, the monies donated or pledged so far in the 新香港六合彩开奖结果Hong Kong campaign for 新香港六合彩开奖结果Laws Faculty exceeds HK$1 million.

Let鈥檚 hope this is a great start to a successful year-long fund-raising campaign. If you would like to donate to this campaign, please complete the form below.
