- 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.
