Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL782/2024

The application for permission for judicial review is refused because it constituted an impermissible attempt to re-litigate final High Court and appellate decisions, the applicant had available appeal routes which were exhausted, the subject matter fell within the scope of Mental Health Ordinance s69 and no leave under s69(2) had been obtained, and the application lacked reasonable arguability and realistic prospects of success.

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV45/2017

The District Judge's refusal to grant permission for judicial review was correct because judicial review cannot be used to challenge judicial decisions of superior courts, the High Court may not judicially review its appellate superior, and section 63B of the District Court Ordinance does not contravene the Basic Law as held by the Court of Final Appeal; additionally the applicant failed to follow procedural directions and would not meet the legal tests to admit fresh evidence.
