Citation

[2026] HKCFI 94
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL84/2021

The application for leave was dismissed because the applicant failed to identify any error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the TCAB decision; the TCAB properly applied section 37ZG(3) and reasonably concluded there was insufficient material to reopen the claim; the proposed judicial review was not reasonably arguable and the leave application was out of time, so an extension of time was refused.

Citation

[2019] HKCFI 1653
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL615/2017
