RE KHAND THAKURI ALISHA

Citation

[2025] HKCA 207
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV448/2024

The appeal was dismissed because the applicant failed to show a realistic prospect of success in judicial review: she produced no contemporaneous medical evidence to support her claim of incapacity at the time she withdrew her appeal and therefore the Judge correctly upheld the Board's decision to confirm the withdrawal.

HABIB AHMED v. HKSAR

Citation

HABIB AHMED v. HKSAR
Court

Court of Final Appeal
Case number

FACC10/2009

The re-opening application was dismissed because the impugned out-of-court allegations were not treated as evidence against the applicant, the Court's conclusion that the applicant was responsible for the murder was based on admissible evidence (seller's testimony and telephone records) and the jury's disbelief of the applicant left no reasonable basis to overturn the conviction; the application therefore lacked foundation.
