HKSAR v. CHAN FEI-LUNG

Citation

[2022] HKCA 658
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC134/2021

The court granted an extension of time and leave to appeal because there was an arguable case that the sentencing judge may have failed properly to apply the totality principle by ordering a largely consecutive sentence producing a notional global starting point that may be excessive; the matter merits substantive appellate consideration rather than dismissal for delay.

Citation

[2018] HKCFI 1327
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL240/2018

The court refused leave because the applicant failed to demonstrate any arguable illegality or procedural unfairness in the Director's and Adjudicator's decisions; the decisions were reasonably based on the evidence, adequately reasoned (read together), not Wednesbury unreasonable, the applicant was not prejudiced by lack of counsel or translation, and there were no realistic prospects of success on judicial review.
