Due to his falsified qualifications, Tai has been disbarred from practicing law in Hong Kong. In March 1992, Tai was discovered of not having passed his professional examination in England and forging credentials to enable him to practise as a solicitor since 1983. He resigned from his elected seat in the Legislative Council on the next day.
Moreover, affidavits testifying to Tai"s good character were given from dominant public figures such as senior Executive Councillor, Lady Dunn, former chief secretary Sir David Akers-Jones, and some other legislators.
As result, Tai was given only a six-month jail sentence, suspended for one year. Bitter discontent was aroused from the community against the light punishment which forced the Legal Department to appeal against sentence.
