- Case number
- FACV9/2022
The Court granted permission for the London leading counsel to appear remotely on 4 January 2023 because the exceptional circumstances — the public importance of the constitutional issues, the value of specialist overseas counsel, the real risk of quarantine-related inability to attend or leave Hong Kong, and the prejudice and disruption that change of counsel or adjournment would cause — justified an exception to the norm of physical attendance, subject to conditions including ad hoc High Court admission and compliance with Registrar directions.
