    HKSAR v. LO WAI YAN WINNIE
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC254/2009

    The court exercised its discretion to certify the single point that the offence of maintenance must be examined for sufficient precision to qualify as prescribed by law under Article 39 Basic Law and according to law under Article 11(1) BORO, finding that this is a point of great and general importance; the court declined to certify the point on access to courts because the applicant had abandoned it and the court had not heard arguments on it, so it would not exercise its discretion to certify that issue.
