SingTao · 2 SOURCESabout 2 hours ago2 MIN
Summary
Barrister So Wing Winky has filed a High Court civil action against his former girlfriend, Lee Lok Tung, seeking wide-ranging injunctions to stop her from contacting, approaching, harassing or intimidating him and people connected to him. The move comes after a charge alleging he pushed Lee to the ground outside a shop in Aberdeen in January was withdrawn by prosecutors in March, and the injunction application is scheduled to be heard on September 11.
Key Points
- So, 39, had previously been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm over an incident on January 24, 2026 outside a cosmetics and drugstore at Phase 4, Aberdeen Centre, on Nam Ning Street in Aberdeen.
- Prosecutors applied in March 2026 to withdraw that criminal charge, and the court approved the application when the case was before the Eastern Magistrates' Courts.
- In the new High Court filing made on September 3, So asks for orders restraining Lee from contacting, harassing or intimidating him, his relatives, colleagues and work partners by any means.
- The proposed injunction also names So's mother Anita Kho Mei Soang, Yang Dongyue and Koe Yeet, as well as current and former members and staff of Sir Oswald Cheung's Chambers, Resolution Chambers and Rede Chambers.
- So further seeks distance restrictions of 100 metres from four named individuals and 50 metres from specified homes and chambers, plus bans on defamatory materials, surveillance, investigation and unlawful entry onto his property
Why It Matters
The September 11 hearing will determine whether the court grants interim restrictions before any full trial of the civil dispute, making it the next immediate legal step in the case. The filing also shows the dispute has shifted from a withdrawn criminal prosecution to a broader civil battle over contact, workplace proximity and communications involving family members, chambers and solicitors.
