- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCAL132/2010
The Revising Officer's Decision was quashed because it was reached without regard to uncontroverted genealogical evidence that established the 116 People and KW Chan could not be male-line descendants required by VREO; that material error of fact made the Decision irrational and reviewable; procedural fairness complaint failed on the facts because no timely protest or request for adjournment was shown to have been made to the Revising Officer; the court lacks jurisdiction to order compilation of a fresh provisional register outside statutory timetables.
