Fanny Law Fan Chiu-funGBM GBS JP[2] (Chinese: 羅范椒芬; néeFan; born 24 February 1953[1]) is a former non-official member of the Executive Council of Hong Kong. She was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal (GBM) by the Hong Kong SAR Government in 2017.[3]
Law held the posts of Secretary for Education and Manpower (until 2002), and Permanent Secretary for Education and Manpower (until 2006). In late 2006, she was appointed Commissioner, Independent Commission Against Corruption. She resigned from the post following a government inquiry into interference with academic freedom at the Hong Kong Institute of Education while she was Permanent Secretary.[4] However the Court of First Instance held that Law did not violate the institute's right to academic freedom when she contacted academics directly.[5] The judicial review was allowed on 13 March 2009 but this did not affect the commission's findings with regard to their terms of reference.
