The court found the applicant failed to establish, on the balance of probabilities, a substantial connection with Hong Kong under s29AE(c) at the relevant dates because historical ties (marriage, prior residence, PR status) and frequent visits were insufficient and there were no substantive continuing links such as Hong Kong assets, tax or residence; consequently the court also found, provisionally under s29AF, that Hong Kong was not the appropriate venue given the Macanese connections and location of the assets. Therefore leave under s29AC was refused and the application dismissed.
