Citation

YU HUNG HSUA JULIE v. THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL47/2015

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the application was brought out of time, the substantive dispute had been overtaken by events (degrees conferred and transcripts issued), interested parties had not been joined, the applicant failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances warranting the court's exercise of discretion, and there was no legal basis to compel intervention by the Dean or Vice‑Chancellor.
