NGUYEN PHU QUYNH v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD

Citation

[2026] HKCFI 1066
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL60/2020

Extension refused because the decisive factor—prospect of success—was lacking: no particularised or arguable grounds were identified showing error by the TCAB; secondary consideration that the applicant failed to keep the court informed of his address reinforced refusal.

CHAN CHUN CHUEN v. THE COMMISSIONER OF INLAND REVENUE

Citation

CHAN CHUN CHUEN v. THE COMMISSIONER OF INLAND REVENUE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL76/2010

The Commissioner acted unreasonably by focusing narrowly on whether KLY received the assessments and failing to consider whether KLY forwarded the notices to the applicant and whether the applicant's lack of actual knowledge prevented timely objection; the statutory presumption of service shifts the burden but does not preclude enquiry into actual receipt and whether lack of knowledge justifies extension; the refusal to extend was quashed and the matter remitted for reconsideration.
