Leave under section 22(1)(a) was not available because the applicants lacked a beneficial proprietary interest in the sites and s15 of the Buildings Ordinance was not engaged on the facts; but leave was granted under section 22(1)(b) limited to the single question whether a leaseholder in Hong Kong can acquire a right of way by prescription under the doctrine of lost modern grant against another leaseholder, both before and after 1 July 1997, because that question raises issues of great general or public importance.
