    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV210/1995

    The court has discretion under paragraph 3 of the Practice Direction to direct the Clerk to fix a hearing date in accordance with item (b) of paragraph 2 for a short appeal when exceptional circumstances exist; consolidated and substantially heavier appeals in this case constituted such circumstances and, on parties' undertakings to exclude the availability of leading counsel, the direction was properly made.

    Citation
    SANYO SECURITIES (ASIA) LTD v. LIN KUANG LUNG RAYMOND
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV257/1995

    The court exercised its exceptional discretion under paragraph 3 of the Listing of Appeals Practice Direction, concluding that the consolidated appeals were sufficiently heavier and more complex to justify treating the matter as an exception to the short appeal rule; on the parties' undertakings to exclude the availability of proposed leading counsel, the court granted the paragraph 3 direction and ordered costs of the application to be costs in the cause.

    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV130/1986

    The application was refused because it did not comply with the Practice Direction and Order 59 r.14(1) requirements (no formal motion supported by affidavit and inadequate notification of counsel availability) and the court was not satisfied that alternative counsel could not be instructed before the fixed date, causing potential undue inconvenience.
