The Standard reports Hong Kong Medical Association president Tse Hung-hing was reinstated as a member of the Medical Council yesterday after the High Court said the regulation that was used to remove him was unconstitutional.

However, Tse, who is attending a conference in Indonesia, said he has mixed feelings about the ruling, since he had to go to court to get justice instead of receiving it from the council.

Tse had been ousted from his two council posts - as member and ethics committee chairman - for failing to declare a driving conviction prior to the council elections in August 2008. Court of First Instance Judge Carlye Chu Fun- ling ruled yesterday that Tse was lawfully elected to the council, and awarded him legal costs.
