    HCAL84/2009

    Section 4(2)(b) is an indiscriminate blanket disqualification that fails the reasonableness and proportionality requirements under Article 21 HKBOR (as applied by Article 39 Basic Law); because the Council's 2 July 2009 motion was substantially influenced by the application of that invalid provision the motion is quashed and the applicant is restored as lawfully elected.
