    RE LI SAU YING

    Citation
    RE LI SAU YING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2384/2007

    An application to extend time to appeal a bankruptcy order is governed by s.100(4) of the Bankruptcy Ordinance and, because 'court' in that provision means the Court of First Instance sitting in its bankruptcy jurisdiction, such applications must be made in the bankruptcy court; Rule 204 does not apply to appeals where time is fixed by s.98(2), and the Court of Appeal should not exercise s.100(4) before an appeal exists.
