The Court of Appeal held that the issues fell within well‑settled legal principles: a foreign court's finding as to treaty validity did not deprive the Hong Kong court of jurisdiction under the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, the appellant's challenge to the committal was unsustainable, and the question did not merit certification for appeal to the Court of Final Appeal; accordingly leave to appeal was refused.
