Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1576/2020

Time was extended because the decision originally sent to the applicant's reported address on 1 September 2025 was returned undelivered, the decision was re-sent to the applicant's new address on 20 October 2025, the applicant received it only then and acted promptly; on that basis the Court found the applicant's delay explained and granted an extension to file the appeal within 14 days of this decision.

PARK LOMEN INN LTD v. APPEAL BOARD

Citation

PARK LOMEN INN LTD v. APPEAL BOARD
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP486/2015

Because the applicant served the notice of appeal within the prescribed period and the applicant attempted to lodge the sealed order within seven days but the Registry refused to accept lodgment through no fault of the applicant, the Court granted an extension of time to comply with Order 59 Rule 5(1). On the merits the Court agreed with the judge below that the proposed grounds were not reasonably arguable under the Chan Po Fun test and dismissed the appeal; costs were ordered against the applicant at 90% of the Superintendent's costs.
