Citation

Pokfulam Development Co. Ltd. and Others v. The Incorporated Owners of Scenic Villas
Court

Lands Tribunal
Case number

LDBM70/2000

The Codes of Practice are directory guidelines rather than subsidiary legislation and therefore are not mandatory; publication in the Gazette does not by itself confer legislative status; the Management Committee's act of 'receiving' the Renovation Committee report constituted approval of the contract awards; accordingly the review is dismissed and the original judgment is upheld.

Citation

RE NIGEL PLEMING Q.C.
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP5490/2000

Admission granted: because the judicial review raises novel and significant issues concerning the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement that have not been litigated in Hong Kong and which may impact the development of local jurisprudence, and because Mr Pleming QC possesses the relevant specialist expertise, it is appropriate in the public interest to admit him to appear in this particular case.
