The court held that the rigid guidelines from Pioneer Shipping for granting leave to appeal apply in Hong Kong; applying those criteria the court refused leave because the first issue did not raise a matter that would significantly add to legal certainty nor showed a strong prima facie that the arbitrator was wrong, and the third issue, although arguable, likewise did not satisfy the tests given the contractual context and the parties' choice of an experienced arbitrator, so leave was refused on both issues.
