RE AN APPLICATION BY MR TIMOTHY WYNN OWEN KC
- Citation
- [2022] HKCFI 3233
- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCMP1402/2022
The application is allowed because the issues to be tried (construction of NSL 29(4) and constitutionality of Crimes Ordinance ss 9 and 10) are of great public and jurisprudential importance and unusually difficult; Mr Owen's specialist expertise would materially assist the court; there was no prejudicial delay and local senior counsel's unavailability for the entire trial justified admission in the public interest.
