    Citation
    [2021] HKCFI 1079
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAL1969/2020

    The Union's proposed intervention was dismissed because it was unlikely to provide additional material assistance on law or fact; its affidavit did not materially add to existing material and the Secretary's affirmation already addressed the likely consequences of disclosure; limited delay and lack of prejudice did not justify intervention absent added assistance.

    TSANG KIN CHIU v. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE

    Citation
    TSANG KIN CHIU v. COMMISSIONER OF POLICE
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAL141/2014

    Leave refused on Grounds 1 and 2 because the applicant has an effective and more appropriate alternative remedy by way of a private law writ action for damages involving extensive factual inquiries unsuitable for judicial review; Ground 3 is academic and not justiciable; leave granted on Ground 4 because it is reasonably arguable that there is a legal basis to order disclosure of the identities of the Relevant Officers and the matter requires full substantive hearing where jurisdiction and discretionary considerations can be properly determined.
