- CACV285/2017
The Court dismissed the appeals: the magistrate validly exercised discretionary power under the Magistrates Ordinance to refuse summons; judicial review was inappropriate because an appeal route existed and the applicant failed to exhaust that remedy; Practice Direction 9.2 does not provide a legal basis to bypass statutory requirements for prosecution; no reasonable apprehension of bias was established; the applications were an abuse of process.
