The Law Society of Hong Kong (“Law Society”) has been approached by some members of the public who have received letters purporting to be issued in the name of “The Law Society of Hong Kong”.

The letters were addressed to the occupiers of individual units of different residential housing estates. They purported to advise the occupiers of their liability to pay rates, property tax and management fees.

The Law Society has never issued such letters to the public or authorized anyone to use its name to issue the letters.

The Law Society has reported the matter to the police.

If there are any further recipients of such letters, please contact the Law Society.
