Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review
NOTIFICATION of the Judge’s decision (Ord. 53 r. 3)
Following;

consideration of the documents and oral submissions by the Applicant
or counsel [ ] in open court; |
Order by the Honourable Mr Justice Chow:
Leave to apply for Judicial Review dismissed.
Observations for the Applicant:
The application for leave to apply for judicial review is dismissed on the ground the application is not reasonably arguable. The Applicant’s challenge of the legality or constitutionality of the proposed co-location arrangement for the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link prior to the enactment of local legislation is premature.
