The application to determine the construction of s.2(2)(c) separately was refused because the question whether informally adopted persons fall within that provision depends materially on expert evidence as to Chinese law and custom and on factual matters best determined at trial; therefore the court exercised its discretion under O.14A r.1 / O.33 r.3 to refuse the separate determination and to require progression to trial with directions.
