The Community Legal Information Centre (CLIC) expresses its deepest condolences to the families, friends, and all those affected by the tragic fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po. Our thoughts are with the affected residents, the injured, and the community as they cope with this devastating loss.
In light of this tragedy, many may have questions about their legal rights, responsibilities, and possible avenues for assistance.
CLIC provides free, easy-to-understand general legal information online, covering a wide range of everyday topics — including housing, insurance, personal injuries, and more. You can also use CLIC Recommender, helping you quickly find relevant legal information tailored to your situation.
To further support the affected community, CLIC will be launching a dedicated section to provide tailored legal information specifically related to issues arising from the Wang Fuk Court fire, including property rights, compensation claims and insurance matters.
If you require personal legal advice, you may consider joining the Free Legal Advice Scheme held on the HKU Campus, where volunteer lawyers offer one-on-one consultations to eligible members of the public.
