Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL356/2018

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to plead any reasonably arguable grounds, provided no satisfactory explanation for procedural failures, and the Adjudicator lawfully and reasonably exercised discretion in refusing late filing; consequently there was no realistic prospect of success.

RE HUI LAI-MING

Citation

RE HUI LAI-MING
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1714/1984

The court held that the applicants' claim to be holders of lawfully issued Hong Kong Identity Cards was sufficient to imply they claimed the Director of Immigration's permission to remain; accordingly the Immigration Tribunal erred in dismissing the appeals under section 53C without permitting a hearing, and the proper remedy was to quash the Tribunal's determination and order the Tribunal to hear the appeals.
