A legal challenge was filed on Tuesday against the head of Legco's secretariat, Kenneth Chen, who's been accused of illegally replacing Democrat James To with Abraham Shek as the host of a bills committee on extradition laws.
Kwok Cheuk-kin, a former civil servant, argues in the writ that Chen had illegally used a circular to ask committee members to vote in writing on the switch.
In the writ, he notes that any motion in a circular cannot be passed when a single councillor opposes it, and there were 26 lawmakers who were against the switch.
Kwok, who's also known as "the king of judicial reviews" as he has challenged several government decisions, is asking the court to deal with the matter as soon as possible.
