Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to identify any question of great general or public importance, did not demonstrate any error in the CA judgment, the intended appeal had no reasonable prospect of success, and the record showed adequate language assistance and oral hearings where attended; failure to attend the CFI hearing justified determination on paper.

LI ALAN SEE LONNG v. MUDASSAR, HUSSAIN AND ANOTHER

Citation

[2022] HKCFI 3378
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCSA33/2022

Leave to appeal was refused because the intended grounds were factual or procedural without raising any question of law: the transcript showed the defendants understood the proceedings and did not request an interpreter, they did not raise contributory negligence or challenge quantum at the hearing, the 1st Defendant validly entered into and signed a settlement, and impecuniosity or a low settlement offer do not constitute legal grounds to set aside the tribunal's order; accordingly there was no reasonable prospect of success on a point of law.
