Judicial deference at work: Some reflections on Chan Kin Sum and Kong Yun Ming
Full text link"Due deference" - the giving of appropriate weight to the government's judgment in the court's reasoning - is a tool that courts use to maintain the separation of powers in constitutional rights review. This note aims to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the issue of deference, and to analyse the Court of First Instance (CFI)'s approach to deference in two recent cases, Chan Kin Sum and Kong Yun Ming. The author argues that the CFI has adopted a spatial approach that failed to specify the contested issues that called for deference, inappropriately considered democratic legitimacy as a factor for deference and made broad presumptions about the democratic character of primary decisions. This approach may lead to an over-deferential attitude that threatens the separation of powers, and the malleability of the approach may be subject to courts' manipulation. The author argues for a more context-sensitive approach based purely on institutional factors.published_or_final_versio
Dialogue with the Giants of Microsurgery: Professor Fu-Chan Wei and Professor Joon Pio Hong
Full text linkThe International Microsurgery Club (IMC) was created by Dr. Tommy Chang (Taiwan), with the webinar series filling the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-induced knowledge gap and providing a platform for microsurgery masters to share knowledge.1 As of April 2023, IMC had more than 19,200 members worldwide.2 An IMC poll identified Professors Fu-Chan Wei and Joon-Pio Hong as the most influential teachers in microsurgery. This article summarizes the lessons from the “Dialogue with the Most Influential Teachers in Microsurgery” webinar on April 9, 2023, divided into technical, nontechnical, and life lesson sections
