    Citation
    CHAN YAT-SAN AND OTHERS v. ATTORNEY GENERAL
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP265/1976

    The court held that although it may go behind a non‑speaking record where jurisdictional error or bias is alleged, the material before it did not establish that the Commissioner acted on an irrelevant consideration or in bad faith; mere silence or prior adverse finding without further indicia of deliberate misconduct did not justify quashing the refusal or ordering mandamus, therefore the applications were refused.
