- FAMC45/2017
The Appeal Committee declined to order early fixation or consolidation because, although the Court has power to hear separate appeals together where just and convenient, the present cases arise from different incidents with distinct facts, leave to appeal had not been granted in the present cases, the Wong Chi Fung appeals were ready to be heard on 16 January 2018 and would be prejudiced by vacating, and the limited procedural similarity and overlapping representation did not justify overriding readiness and practicality considerations; accordingly the discretionary relief sought was refused.
