HKSAR v. NANCY ANN KISSEL
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC66/2012

The Court refused to certify the posed questions under s.32(2) because they were not arguable points of law of great and general importance and were fact‑sensitive questions properly resolved at trial rather than by a general legal rule; therefore the application for certification was dismissed.

Court of Final Appeal
