Lawyers have urged the securities regulator to continue exploring the potential for a criminal investigation into Cheung Kong's controversial sales of hotel suites in Kwai Chung despite its pact with the developer to cancel the sales.

Their call came as it emerged that the Department of Justice, which has the final say over prosecutions, had not been consulted over the case.
