    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCPI182/2018

    The judge found the plaintiff advanced no arguable legal or factual grounds meeting the statutory threshold for leave to appeal: the claim was correctly characterised as civil medical negligence, there was no error in evidence evaluation or application of legal principles (including Bolam), the plaintiff's serious criminal allegations were speculative, and no public interest justification existed; accordingly both the leave to appeal and the costs‑variation applications were dismissed and costs awarded to the defendant assessed at HKD50,000 on a standard basis.

    HKSAR v. OKAFOR CHARLES CHUKWUEMEKA

    Citation
    HKSAR v. OKAFOR CHARLES CHUKWUEMEKA
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC382/2015

    The Court found the Notice of Abandonment was a deliberate and informed act signed and witnessed and the applicant failed to show mistake or exceptional circumstances; there was no credible evidence he provided assistance to authorities; the sentencing starting point and reductions were appropriate; accordingly the nullity application and leave to appeal were refused and a loss of time order of 3 months under s83W CPO was made because the nullity application was wholly unmeritorious and an abuse of process.
