包致金 Kemal Bokhary

Kemal Bokhary is a judge in Hong Kong, Bokhary's father came to Hong Kong with the British Indian Army when Japan invade Hong Kong.



Bokhary himself was born in Hong Kong in 1947. He received his early education in the King George V School, Hong Kong and his legal education in London. Bokhary is married to High Court judge Verina Saeeda Bokhary (包鍾倩薇), with whom he has three daughters.



Out of the permanent judges of the Court of Final Appeal, Bokhary holds the record for the number of dissenting opinions he has written. He is also described as the "most hard-working" judge; during his thirteen years of tenure, he has heard 95% (299) of the 313 cases which came before the Court of Final Appeal, a higher proportion than his fellow judges.[6] Bokhary is considered the most liberal of all of the judges on the Court of Appeal, and legal scholars see his frequent dissents as "intellectually superior" to opinions written by the other judges. He thus became known as the "conscience of the court",
