In this Hong Kong name, the surname is Tse. In accordance with Hong Kong custom, the Western-style name is Paul Tse and the Chinese-style name is Tse Wai-chun.
Tse then finished his pupillage in Hong Kong under Justice Peter Nguyen. Tse was called to the bar in 1992 and set up his own firm in 1997.[1]
His media stunts and quest for self-publicity have caused controversy. From 1997 to 1999, Paul posed in his underpants only for magazines to spread the message that "laws are inherent to every people". After disciplinary hearings which lasted for nearly a decade, the Law Society of Hong Kong suspended his solicitor's license for 12 months for this stunt, but his firm could continue because there were other partners.[2]
In February 2021, Tse said that Sinopharm vaccines should be administered in Hong Kong, despite the fact that the trial data has not been released.[4]
Also in February 2021, Tse announced potential reductions of power held by Legislative Council members, claiming that the reductions would create a "balance between the effective operation of the council and the right of speech of legislators."[5] In response, Andrew Wan said that such changes would serve only to minimize any antigovernmental opposition within the legislature.[5] Tse also said that lawmakers could be banned for a week if they violated any of the new rules, and that the new rules could take effect as soon as 24 March 2021.[6]
In April 2021, Tse said that people who urge others to cast blank ballots may commit the crime of "inciting subversion" under the National Security Law.[7]
In January 2022, Tse said that he would try to introduce legislation to block the "yellow economic circle", where pro-democracy supporters boycott shopping at pro-government businesses.[8]
In June 2023, Tse introduced legislation that would give lawmakers a summer break.[9]
Out of all 90 legislative council members in the 2022-2025 term, Tse owned the most properties, with 15 residential units in Hong Kong and 1 in Beijing.[10]
