Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL506/2018

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because there was no decision by the CTC amenable to judicial review (the letter was informational and non‑determinative) and the applicant had not exhausted alternative remedies (private civil or charity proceedings are the appropriate forum); accordingly the court declined to compel the CTC to act.

Citation

LO SIU LAN AND ANOTHER v. HONG KONG HOUSING AUTHORITY
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV378/2004

The sale of the RCPF was within the Housing Authority's statutory powers and connected to its duty to secure provision of housing and ensure sufficient revenue; the Authority may secure provision of amenities through third parties and is not required to retain ownership or management; accordingly the decision was not ultra vires; the judge's exercise of discretion on delay and leave was not disturbed.
