Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC421/2002

The application for a certificate was refused because it was significantly out of time and did not comply with the statutory requirements and Practice Directions; alternatively, the substantive questions sought were not properly certifiable on the facts as they amounted to an attack on the merits of the court's exercise of discretion and did not arise for certification in this case.

TSE WAI CHUN PAUL v. SOLICITORS DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNAL AND ANOTHER

Citation

TSE WAI CHUN PAUL v. SOLICITORS DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNAL AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Final Appeal
Case number

FAMV46/2002

The Tribunal's statutory requirement to sit in camera in s.9B(4) of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance did not amount to a breach of article 10 of the Bill of Rights because the Tribunal is not a classic court and appellate oversight by the Court of Appeal, which has full jurisdiction and complies with article 10, provides the necessary protection; therefore there was no reasonable prospect of success and leave to appeal was dismissed.
