SCMP Reporter

Former KMB  chairman Woo Pak-chuen  has taken out a restraining order to stop former actress Lana Wong Har-wai  from visiting him in hospital.

The writ, filed on Wednesday but released only yesterday at the High Court, was taken out by Mr Woo, 94, against his one-time friend, who is dubbed 'the queen of gossip' by the local tabloid press.

Mr Woo was a prominent solicitor and a former Executive Councillor under the colonial government.

'The plaintiff's claim is for an injunction ... restraining the defendant ... from entering, remaining in or trespassing upon 'the Room' of Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong.'

Wong, 70, must answer the injunction within 14 days or otherwise satisfy its demands, according to the writ.

Mr Woo has been undergoing treatment for a heart problem at the hospital since May.

He was one of the most prominent local Chinese public figures before the handover, taking  part in crucial Exco deliberations during the 1967 riots. His firm, PC Woo & Co, was one of the most prestigious  law firms in the territory.

Wong has been in show business for more than half a century but has recently become a target of ridicule in the Chinese press.

They criticise her  tendency to gossip about showbiz personalities and her habit of turning up at  famous people's funerals even when not invited.
