    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAL130/2018

    Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because, as a matter of discretion, granting leave would risk prejudicing the imminent by-election and there was an adequate alternative remedy by way of an election petition under s.62 of the Legislative Council Ordinance (cap. 542); additionally the applicant lacked the stronger interest of a candidate or elector and any challenge to the earlier decision regarding Mr Law was time‑barred and lacked merit given no obligation on the Returning Officer to take the Legislative Council Oath.

    Citation
    LAM LEE v. LUI YEM BUN
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP3799/1993

    The court held that s.13(1)(a)(ii) could not be interpreted so as to treat assignments of different lots as assignments of the whole estate and interest for the purpose of excluding earlier defects; the defendant failed to show the requisitions regarding nomination memorials were sufficiently answered; even if the 1977 assignments were treated as a root of title, the purchaser was entitled to establish aliunde that earlier title was bad. Therefore the plaintiff was entitled to the declarations, repayment of the deposit and a lien as sought.
