    HMC v. CWY

    [2023] HKFC 18
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC3129/2021

    Leave to appeal was refused because the judge correctly treated the 7 November 2022 order as a case management decision aimed at advancing a high‑conflict child access dispute to trial; the petitioner had opportunities to address the court and no arguable prospect of success existed on the grounds raised; existing access arrangements maintained contact and unresolved factual issues (including allegations of harm) required substantive trial determination; therefore the appeal had no reasonable prospect and no other interest of justice required a hearing.
