    P1 AND ANOTHER v. D

    Citation
    [2025] HKCFI 5584
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCT59/2023

    The court refused leave because the proposed appeal lacked a reasonable prospect of success: the judge applied the correct legal tests, considered procedural and bias complaints together, found no evidentiary basis that the Tribunal was unconsciously or apparently biased by exposure to WPP material, correctly treated the Tribunal's assurances and the materiality/context of WPP as relevant, and concluded the scientific literature and the question of appointing an expert did not establish any arguable error warranting appellate intervention.
