Balancing the public interest in maintaining a strong independent local Bar against the specific needs of the heavy and voluminous underlying case, and having accepted the views of experienced local solicitors and counsel that the applicant's specialized expertise and experience in heavy trials would be desirable as part of a three-counsel team including local senior and junior counsel, the court exercised its discretion under section 27 to admit the applicant but limited the admission to specific proceedings in HCCW594/1999.
