RE CLARE MONTGOMERY QC
- Citation
- [2019] HKCFI 727
- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCMP2266/2018
Application refused because applicant failed to demonstrate that the appeal is of unusual difficulty or complexity or that overseas counsel would add expertise beyond competent local counsel; the public interest in maintaining a strong independent local bar outweighs the factors favouring admission, particularly given recent Court of Appeal guidance and the pending Appeal Committee/CFI consideration which will largely dictate the fault element argument.
