The applicant failed to discharge the burden of proving the contested right (the right to apply for Mainland registration of pictorial trade marks) was worth HK$1,000,000 or more because its valuation was vague, rested on bare assertions, and lacked evidence (notably from Mainland counsel) on the likelihood of successful registration; accordingly leave to appeal as of right under s.22(1)(a) must be refused.
