Citation

[2019] HKCFI 2450
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL757/2018

Leave refused because the Applicant showed no arguable prospect of success: the Board validly exercised its power under s37ZT to refuse late filing after finding service to the Applicant's address and absence of documentary evidence or special circumstances; no new facts were before the Board or Director to engage BOR 2 and no unfairness arose from not holding an oral hearing.
