Hong Kong has been continuously affected by heavy rain, and a black rain warning signal was issued on August 5, marking the fourth time within 8 days and the highest number recorded in the year. The Hong Kong Bar Association stated that extreme weather events are increasingly frequent and worsening, and the disputes and legal issues they cause cannot be ignored, including property damage, breach of contract, and liability claims. If the public needs assistance, they can apply for free legal services to seek legal support and effectively resolve disputes. The Bar Association offers various public interest legal services, including the 'Free Legal Consultation Hotline,' 'Free Legal Consultation Service,' 'Free Legal Consultation Service for Building Management,' and 'Free Outreach Legal Consultation Service for Building Management.' The public can visit the Bar Association's website to learn more about 'Free Legal Consultation' and the 'Hong Kong Bar Association Mediator Register.' In addition, last year, the Bar Association collaborated with the Buildings Department to produce a special program titled 'Stopping Water Leaks with 'Law,'' explaining the legal procedures, costs, and claims for resolving water leakage issues. People can revisit the 'Water Leakage Issues' special webpage on the Buildings Department and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department's websites.
