CHAN CHEUK TONG v. DIRECTOR OF LANDS
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV223/1995

The notice of appeal failed to disclose any question of law as required by s.11(2) Lands Tribunal Ordinance and r.2 O60A RSC; therefore no competent appeal lay to the Court of Appeal and the Court properly exercised its inherent jurisdiction to strike out the notice of appeal and dismiss the appeal.

Citation

Tai Tung Industrial Equipment Limited v. Director of Lands
Court

Lands Tribunal
Case number

LDMR31/1995

Tribunal has power to enlarge time under s.10(2)(d) and "good cause" should be read in a general sense including the soundness of the applicant's claim and reasonable reliance on professional advice; on the facts the applicant's claim was likely to succeed on liability, reliance on advisers and subsequent litigation produced the delay but did not cause injustice to respondent, therefore good cause established and time was enlarged with an order to deliver the claim within seven days.
