Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV225/2024

The application for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was dismissed because the applicant failed to identify any question of great general or public importance under section 22(1)(b) HKCFAO, advanced only vague and unsupported assertions that re-ran previously rejected arguments, failed to point to any error of law or procedural unfairness in the Board's decision, and relied on an unsubstantiated and irrelevant allegation which post-dated the Board's decision; accordingly leave was refused.

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate that the appeal involved a question of great general or public importance or any other basis under s22(1)(b); the grounds were general and vague and unarguable for the reasons given in the Court's earlier judgment, therefore statutory requirements for leave were not met.
