RE RAI KALPANA

Citation

[2023] HKCA 768
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CAMP254/2022

The notice of motion for leave to appeal was dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate that the intended appeal raised a question of great general or public importance, the grounds were personal, vague and unarguable, and therefore the statutory requirements for leave (and for extending time) were not met; extension of time was futile.
