RE JAMES MICHAEL TURNER QC
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1292/2014

The application was granted because the case raised issues of unusual complexity in seamanship and navigation requiring specialist expertise, the trial was lengthy and publicly sensitive, and both the Bar Council and Secretary for Justice, after considering fuller particulars, did not oppose admission; accordingly admission was appropriate for the trial, PTR and all preliminary proceedings.

RE LESLIE GORDON KOSMIN
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP2291/2007

Admission granted because the interlocutory applications raise unusually complex and important issues and the unavailability of the instructed leading counsel (Mr Yuen) for the full hearing made the applicant the logical and necessary choice; there was no unacceptable delay; admission limited to the specified interlocutory hearings and related advice and not to appeals.
