No implied six month time bar applies to applications for leave to seek committal for contempt; prosecutorial discretion under Basic Law Article 63 permits the Secretary to elect committal in appropriate cases; the Secretary had good reasons to proceed by committal rather than under s23; the court has jurisdiction to grant fresh leave after lapse of earlier leave; the Secretary's applications for fresh leave were not an abuse of process; respondents' summonses to set aside the Second Leave are dismissed.
