    FRANCIS CHEUNG AND ANOTHER v. INSIDER DEALING TRIBUNAL
    Court
    Court of Final Appeal
    Case number
    FAMV19/2000

    Leave to appeal refused because (1) appeal as of right did not arise: the penalty decision was separate and any financial consequence was speculative and below the statutory trigger; (2) discretionary leave under s22(1)(b) not warranted because the questions advanced were either fact‑bound or insufficiently arguable to produce a different result; and (3) on the facts the evidence did not establish actual or real danger of bias nor that the isolated misconduct of one tribunal member tainted the tribunal's unanimous findings.
