Case number

HCAL998/2025

Permission refused because the applicant's allegations are unsubstantiated and inherently implausible, there are no arguable grounds for judicial review of the police/prosecutorial conduct, the court lacks jurisdiction over events alleged to have occurred outside Hong Kong, and there is no evidential basis for the claimed HK$200,000,000,000 in damages.

RE TAI TUNG INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT LTD.

Citation

RE TAI TUNG INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT LTD.
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP2262/1994

The letters of 2 January 1992 and 14 October 1992 did not constitute claims under s.12 Cap.127: they were proposals to negotiate modification of a Crown lease and were sent before the rights were extinguished by gazettal; s.12 requires a written claim with sufficient particulars (including the sum) after gazettal to enable the Director to perform s.13 duties; the Director had no power to waive statutory requirements and estoppel could not be invoked; accordingly there was no valid s.12 claim to be considered and the application for mandamus and declarations fails.
