    RE JAMES BADENOCH QC
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP1890/2012

    The applicant was admitted only for the limited purpose of advising and representing the Hospital Authority on the November preliminary hearing on the discount rate because that issue is unusually difficult, has potentially significant implications for local jurisprudence and the applicant has relevant expertise; the applicant was refused admission to conduct the main trial because the applicant failed to show reasonable, adequately particularised efforts to locate suitable local senior counsel and the main trial was not demonstrated to be unusually difficult to justify overseas counsel.
