Citation

[2025] HKCFI 5246
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL2276/2020

The application for leave to apply for judicial review is dismissed because the Applicant failed to demonstrate any error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Board's decision; the Director's earlier decision was superseded and not reviewable once appeal to the Board had been pursued; the Board's decision met the enhanced Wednesbury standard and the challenge lacked reasonable prospects of success.

RE ENDAH RETNOSARI

Citation

[2024] HKCA 920
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CAMP76/2023

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant's complaints related to her individual claim and personal circumstances and did not raise any question of great general or public importance; further the arguments were not reasonably arguable and therefore the statutory threshold in s.22(1)(b) Cap.484 for granting leave was not satisfied.

RE WASEEM BAIG

Citation

[2022] HKCA 903
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV323/2021

The application for leave was refused because the applicant failed to identify any question of great general or public importance as required by s22(1)(b) HKCFAO; the motion merely re‑ran arguments already considered and rejected by this Court without specific particulars of error; the procedural complaints were fact‑specific, unsupported by evidence, and did not meet the statutory threshold for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal.
