TAM SZE LEUNG AND OTHERS v. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE

Citation

[2022] HKCFI 309
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL191/2021

Because no final order for specific relief has been made and the hearing on appropriate relief, consequential matters and costs has been adjourned for further submissions, the time for filing any notice of appeal has not begun; accordingly an extension of time to appeal is unnecessary and no order for extension is made (but the court would have granted an extension to 28 days after final orders if it had been necessary).

CHUM HON CHI v. DIRECTOR OF LANDS

Citation

CHUM HON CHI v. DIRECTOR OF LANDS
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV122/1996

Motion to strike out dismissed because leave granted to amend notice of appeal to add an arguable point of law (challenge to the Tribunal's 9% discount rate). Two other proposed grounds (treatment of area/duration and deduction of proprietor's wages) were not arguable errors of law and leave to amend in respect of them was refused. Time issue was treated as immaterial because court would have extended time if a valid point of law existed. Appeal therefore proceeds on the limited legal issue permitted.
