Augustine Chung

Augustine Chung Shai-kit (Chinese: 鍾世傑) was a Hong Kong solicitor and politician.

He worked in the Social Welfare Department for two years before he interned in a law firm and subsequently became a lawyer.

He specialised in the transport-related lawsuits and sued the government for the cancellation of the licences of the New Territories taxis and minibuses.

In 1975, Chung was charged of blackmailing another lawyer Donald Quintin Cheung for a half a million U.S. dollars in order to avoid prosecution over the investigations into the affairs of the Paul Lee Engineering Co. Ltd..

Although he was eventually found innocent, his name was struck off the Roll of Solicitors by the Disciplinary Committee of the Council of the Law Society of Hong Kong.
