    CACV572/2021

    Application dismissed because applicants failed to show the intended appeal raised any question of great general or public importance under s22(1)(b) and failed to show prospects of success; the 2nd applicant's case had been separately considered and a bare assertion about best interests did not establish grounds for appeal or judicial review.

    RE WONG CHI KEUNG

    Citation
    RE WONG CHI KEUNG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAG11512/2014

    The application to exclude the respondent was dismissed because the alleged conflict of interest was more apparent than real: the respondent is the minor's natural grandmother with a closer caring relationship; the adverse property claims are brought by third parties not by the respondent; therefore there is little practical risk to the minor's interests and the best interest principle required refusal of the exclusion.
