The court found no error in the exercise of judicial discretion in refusing out‑of‑time leave to appeal, concluded the first defendant had no reasonable prospect of success, held that personal hardship did not amount to an arguable ground to disturb the discretionary refusal, and therefore dismissed the leave application and ordered immediate payment of the plaintiff's costs (summary assessment HK$6,000).
