Citation

[2020] HKCA 677
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV490/2018

Leave to appeal was refused because the contested construction and proportionality questions fell within matters previously remitted or should be pursued in the earlier applications (FAMV 42 and 43/2016); the applicants improperly sought to reframe or relitigate issues in these appeals instead of reactivating the prior proceedings; consequentially the Notices of Motion were dismissed and costs awarded.

HKSAR v. YEUNG MAY WAN AND OTHERS

Citation

HKSAR v. YEUNG MAY WAN AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA949/2002

The Court refused the certificate because the contention that an instruction by a supervising officer who lacked reasonable belief necessarily taints an arrest by a subordinate is unsustainable; legality of arrest depends on the arresting officer's reasonable belief, a fact question tied to findings of this Court, and therefore the issues are not pure points of law of great and general public importance suitable for certification under section 32(2).
