The court held the operative government policy on HPA/SA is contained in the LegCo/Finance Committee papers (the approved policy) which include an actual user criterion; the Information Pamphlet was only a general guideline and did not create a clear, unambiguous representation giving rise to a legitimate expectation; failure to call URA staff did not amount to fatal procedural unfairness though non‑disclosure of adverse documents raises fairness concerns; on those bases the applicants' legal challenge failed.
