- HCCT84/2023
Leave to appeal was required under section 6(5) of the Arbitration Ordinance and the exclusion in section 14(3)(ea)(viii) HCO applies; construing the statutory scheme purposively to avoid absurdity, the Court held the decision refusing leave falls within the restricted appeal regime and the proposed appeal had no reasonable prospects of success, so leave was refused and related applications dismissed.
