Citation

[2020] HKCFI 2913
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL765/2017

The summons for an extension of time was dismissed because the applicant failed to provide an acceptable explanation for the delay, failed to maintain a reliable address for service, and the intended appeal had no reasonable prospect of success because the underlying judicial review application lacked any ascertainable grounds; accordingly extension would not be in the interests of justice.
