LEE CHICK CHOI v. THE DIRECTOR OF LEGAL AID
- Citation
- [2018] HKCFI 1423
- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCAL417/2018
Leave was dismissed because the Applicant had an adequate appeal remedy, the Director reasonably concluded the proposed PDPO s.66 claim was unmeritorious (a conclusion reinforced by the District Court striking out the action as an abuse of process), the likely quantum fell within the Small Claims Tribunal so legal aid would not be available, and there was no useful purpose in granting leave given the action had ended.
