    Court
    Court of First Instance

    HCMP612/2013

    Applicant's extensive travel and business responsibilities, while burdensome, are common among Hong Kong businesspeople and do not constitute unique or extraordinary cause to justify permanent removal from the juror list under s28(1)(b); therefore the court refused the permanent exemption and the immediate exemption for the May 13, 2013 attendance, while noting relief may be sought on a case-by-case basis under s28(2).
