A sexual harassment case that was brought against former Deacons partner Stefano Mariani in Hong Kong last year has been discontinued by the claimant at the city’s District Court.
District Court Judge Harold Leong has also ordered that the Anonymity Order granted to the claimant, Jennifer Baccanello, a 33 year-old foreign lawyer at Hong Kong’s largest law firm Deacons, on October 4, 2023, in her claim for sexual harassment against Mariani, be set aside.
