CHOY BING WING v. OFFICIAL RECEIVER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV78/2003

The Court dismissed the application for leave because the questions concerning costs and the Bankruptcy Ordinance were res judicata, and the alleged questions about judicial bias were not proper matters for the Court of Final Appeal and would constitute an abuse of process and cause undue delay; there was no demonstrable error in Cheung JA's order for security for costs.
