1. This is a strange case. The Plaintiff, Mak Hung Yin, is now 59 (he was born in 1940); he is unemployed; he is a heroin addict; he is a regular and heavy drinker of alcoholic liquor, so much so that medically he is classed as an alcoholic. He is in receipt of public assistance, both now and in January 1996 when the cause of action is said to have arisen.
