CLP POWER HONG KONG LTD v. COMMISSIONER OF RATING AND VALUATION

Citation

CLP POWER HONG KONG LTD v. COMMISSIONER OF RATING AND VALUATION
Court

Lands Tribunal
Case number

LDRA368/2004

The tribunal lawfully exercised its discretion: CLP failed to show a reasonable prospect of success on any ground of appeal because approaches 2 and 3 and the CB-related work were found unreliable or inappropriate and had materially increased costs; the unreasonableness of the respondent's WACC approach did not justify CLP presenting its own inappropriate approaches; taxing apportionment difficulties did not make the costs variation unlawful. Leave to appeal was refused and the variation made final with costs awarded against CLP.

NG YIN NEI v. LEE CHICK CHOI

Citation

NG YIN NEI v. LEE CHICK CHOI
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1131/2013

The summons seeking leave to appeal was dismissed because it was unnecessary: leave to appeal had already been granted and the costs issue could properly be raised and determined in the pending appeal; accordingly the re-application was without merit and refused, and an order was made under O.59 r.2A(8) preventing an oral reconsideration.

MAGAPOWER GARMENTS LTD. v. DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY

Citation

MAGAPOWER GARMENTS LTD. v. DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL3199/2001

The leave application was dismissed because it lacked merit and was barred by undue delay: the applicant failed to show a plausible factual basis to overturn the respondent's finding on origin, failed to show good reason to extend the three-month time limit, and had an alternative statutory remedy under section 6; Hong Kong's rules of origin were lawful and not irrational for differing from US rules.
