- HCA1509/2012
The court refused to strike out paragraph 12(2)(e) because the 99‑year term argument was not obviously unsustainable and therefore did not meet the high striking‑out threshold; the O14A application was dismissed because RHC O77 r7(1)(c) bars Order 14A applications against the Crown/HKSAR and, alternatively, the Two Questions were unsuitable for determination by O14A given disputed material facts and because such a determination would not finally resolve the action.
