The Court held the plaintiff's claim against Ms Soong disclosed no reasonable cause of action, was incurably bad and in any event legally barred by s.4(5) of the Crown Proceedings Ordinance so that any failure to file evidence could not have changed the outcome; therefore leave to appeal out of time was refused, the striking out and dismissal were upheld and the Registrar's costs assessments (HK$15,000 and HK$4,000) were reasonable and the appeal against the costs order dismissed; the court ordered the plaintiff to pay costs of the appeal of HK$7,500.
