Citation

RANK PROFIT INDUSTRIES LTD v. SECRETARY FOR JUSTICE
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV125/2007

Leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was refused because the applicant only alleges incorrect application of the correct test (insufficient for leave), the substantial monetary stakes do not alone justify leave, and the claim is not maintainable; if leave were to be granted it should be by the Court of Final Appeal.

AKAI HOLDINGS LTD (IN COMPULSORY LIQUIDATION) v. DOMINE KO CHEONG WING AND ANOTHER

Citation

AKAI HOLDINGS LTD (IN COMPULSORY LIQUIDATION) v. DOMINE KO CHEONG WING AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV430/2006

The Court refused leave to appeal because there were no grounds for this Court to grant leave on an interlocutory application: the disputed points (notably whether waiver constitutes receipt) are arguable and should be tried at first instance, and the applicant must seek leave before the Court of Final Appeal itself if it wishes to pursue the matter further.
