    Citation
    RE ROBERT ALUN JONES QC
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2446/2008

    The court granted admission because the matter involved a substantial point of law (the application and possible elaboration of the Browne v Dunn rule and related appellate issues including use of the proviso and hearsay) and continuity of representation by the same counsel who had acted below justified allowing the overseas counsel to appear and prepare for the CFA proceedings.
