上月太原大火引发香港居民呼吁引入集体诉讼机制，但长期搁置的改革提案成为障碍。该悲剧造成168人死亡，近5000人流离失所，受影响居民表达了对集体法律行动的支持。
太原大火发生于去年11月，造成168人丧生，近5000人无家可归。这场悲剧发生在王福苑的宏盛楼等住宅楼，引发居民质疑是否需要更好的集体法律行动方式来追究责任。
45岁的黄柏芝是失去家园的居民之一，他正在处理宏盛楼公寓的索赔事宜。他支持建立集体诉讼机制。“如果可能，我们希望引入集体诉讼机制。如果它能帮助防止此类悲剧再次发生，我们当然支持，”黄柏芝表示。
一位七十多岁的退休老人姓李，他的母亲在火灾中丧生。他计划追究法律责任，并希望获得法律援助资助案件。
法律专家呼吁当局推进长期搁置的集体法律行动提案，以应对此类事件。香港法改会等机构的相关讨论已持续多年，但改革仍未落实。
