Citation

[2018] HKCA 340
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV201/2017

Leave to adduce Professor Zhang's expert evidence on appeal was refused because the appellant failed the first Ladd v Marshall condition (the evidence could have been obtained with reasonable diligence before trial), and the expert report in any event did not meet the second and third Ladd v Marshall conditions (it was not sufficiently relevant or credible to probably influence the result), such that the court would not exercise its discretion to admit it.

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL188/2002

Citation

SIN HOI CHU AND OTHERS v. THE DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

The Court granted leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal because the issues raised were of great general and public importance affecting many persons and the representative applicants in CACV 415 and 417 covered the relevant factual situations; Li Shuk Fan was also granted leave because her case covered factual permutations that would otherwise require an additional representative applicant despite the Director\'s undertakings.
