A vice-chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association has resigned out of frustration over the Bar’s position during the city’s protest crisis, a legal source said.

Philip Dykes, chairman of the Bar Association, on Saturday confirmed that Edwin Choy Wai-bond had tendered his resignation as one of the association’s vice-chairmen on Wednesday, but did not give a reason.
