    Citation
    RE POON LAI YING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAG11487/2009

    The application was fundamentally defective for failing to disclose a proper capacity for grant under r.19 NCPR and for failing to show clearance of prior rights as required by r.25(3); given the applicant's concession and undertaking to waive client costs the application was allowed to be withdrawn and no order for costs was made, but the solicitor was formally criticized and warned about supervision and potential costs deprivation for shoddy preparation.
