The court held the matters asserted by the applicant are factual determinations (the trial judge found disclosures were made to raise personal profile and not in the public interest) and not questions of law of great and general importance; the applicant never relied on 'raising profile' as a pleaded reasonable excuse, and established authorities (notably HKSAR v Ho Loy) already govern the legal test for 'reasonable excuse'. The certification application under Cap 484 s32 therefore fails and is dismissed.
