Court of First Instance
Case number

The permission application was refused because the claim lacked reasonable arguability, targeted judicial decisions/actions not amenable to judicial review due to judicial independence, and was not brought within the statutory three‑month period; accordingly permission to apply for judicial review was denied.

洪育貞對醫院管理局主席范鴻齡 [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2022] HKCFI 1037
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1005/2021

Permission refused because applicant failed to demonstrate a reasonably arguable case: the detention and conditional release complied with the Mental Health Ordinance; the Hospital Authority Chairman was not the decision‑maker and thus not the proper respondent; the applicant had not exhausted the statutory review remedy under s59B; the challenge impermissibly attacked medical judgments without evidential support; and the application was out of time under Order 53 without satisfactory explanation.
