Respondent

Procedural Posture

Employees' Compensation Civil / Application for Leave to Appeal to Court of Final Appeal (refused)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal should be granted under Cap.484 s22(1)(b)
  2. 2 Whether applicant complied with the unless order requiring service of an amended application bundle by the deadline
  3. 3 Whether the applicant's application for relief from sanctions/extension of time was in time and had a reasonable explanation

Ratio Decidendi

Applicant failed to serve the amended application bundle by the court's deadline and failed to provide a reasonable and timely explanation for non-compliance; the relief application was therefore out of time and unsustainable; the proposed grounds do not raise issues of sufficient general or public importance under s22(1)(b) Cap.484 to justify leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal; accordingly leave is refused and costs awarded to respondent.

Court Disposition

Application for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal refused; motion dismissed.

Orders

  • The notice of motion filed by the applicant on 19 June 2025 is dismissed.
  • The applicant must pay the respondent's costs of this application, assessed summarily at HK$26,500.
