HKSAR v. CHENG CHEE-TOCK, THEODORE
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC460/2012

The court refused the s32(2) certificate as the question did not raise a point of law of great and general importance, granted an extension of time but refused the substantive certificate application, and made the respondent's order nisi absolute awarding costs for two counsel because evidence established that two counsel had materially assisted in the respondent's preparation.
