CY Leung Fund Takes Legal Action Against Claudia Mo

A fund set up by former chief executive CY Leung says it’s filing a judicial review over the Buildings Department's decision not to demand pro-democracy legislator Claudia Mo dismantle suspected illegal structures at her luxury home.

The group, 803 Funds – set up last year to collect information about anti-government protesters suspected of committing crimes – said Mo has not been using the basement of her Repulse Bay Road home for parking as intended, and that it had been modified for residential use after being fitted with windows and doors.

Mo’s husband has been listed as an interested party.

Leung’s group also alleged that the modification was unauthorised, saying therefore the department has the right to take enforcement action.

It said it had twice asked the department to do just that, but was told that officers refused to issue a removal order as they did not consider the structures in question to pose any obvious hazard or imminent danger.

Responding to the legal action, Mo said she's been paying government rent on the property since it was acquired in 1985, and ‘doesn’t understand’ the allegation of illegal structures.
