    Citation
    [2021] HKFC 213
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC13299/2019

    Although the Husband's desire for stay access and need for housing were genuine, he failed to show good cause to vacate the Form A registration: alternative means (renting or buying a smaller flat) were available, and the financial disputes over assets remained unresolved; accordingly the summons to vacate registration is dismissed.

    "W" v. "I"

    Citation
    "W" v. "I"
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV219/1999

    The judge properly exercised his discretion in refusing access because extensive social welfare and psychological evidence established that access would pose a substantial risk to the child's mental health; the Court of Appeal will not disturb such a discretionary decision absent error of law or misapprehension, and the imposition of a three-year period before reconsideration without leave was within the judge's remit.
