Court of First Instance

HCAL1867/2023

Leave to apply for judicial review was dismissed because the applicants (except one) lacked standing, the applications were brought with undue delay (no good reason to extend the 41-year delay), and the claims disclosed no reasonably arguable public law wrong given that the Director's enforcement decisions are land-administrative and not amenable to judicial review; the Policy had been published and the applications were therefore without merit.

TITAN PETROCHEMICALS GROUP LTD v. THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LTD

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1484/2023

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the application was not made promptly in the statutory and regulatory context and there was no good reason to extend time; on merits the LRC's refusal to find exceptional circumstances was not irrational as the applicant had not demonstrated it had substantially implemented the steps towards resumption nor shown sufficient certainty of resumption even if the time lost to the winding‑up and liquidators were 'given back'.
