LI HAO TIAN v. THE SECRETARY FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE

Citation

[2024] HKCFI 2580
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL585/2024

The application for leave to apply for judicial review is dismissed because the Applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable public law ground: the SCS considered all relevant matters (including multiple rounds of representations, CSB memo, PSC advice), did not fetter her discretion, and her Retirement Decision fell within the range of reasonable responses and was not irrational.

RE KUM CHUN TONG

Citation

RE KUM CHUN TONG
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL46/2010

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the proposed grounds were not reasonably arguable: the Director lawfully exercised his discretion by considering precedents alongside the offence's gravity, the Applicant's service and mitigating factors, and the punishment imposed was within the proper range; the Secretary's affirmation of that decision was not shown to be unlawful or irrational.
