Leave to appeal was refused because the habeas corpus issues fall outside the Order in Council's remit for leave and because paragraph 2(2) of the Hong Kong Letters Patent 1991( No.1) operates retrospectively to prevent challenges to prior magistrate appointments, rendering the applicants' civil appeals academic and not warranting exercise of discretion under rule 2(b).
