Citation

THAPA TUL BAHADUR AND ANOTHER v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL124/2003

The Director's conclusion that the first applicant did not genuinely intend to reside in Hong Kong as a dependant but rather to seek employment was a rational inference from the primary facts, the applicant bore the burden to prove genuine dependant intent and failed to do so, and the single lodged application was a joint one so both applicants failed.
