The Court held the committal proceedings brought under Order 52 are civil in their procedural character and the appeals are civil appeals; Section 50 applies to interlocutory orders in committal proceedings but does not abrogate the leave requirement in section 14AA (except as explicitly exempted by Order 59 Rule 21 for committal orders affecting liberty); articles 10 and 11 HKBoR protections nonetheless apply given penal consequences; directed a rolled‑up hearing on leave and substantive appeals on specified dates.
