1. This appeal raises a short but by no means easy point on the powers of the appeal panel appointed under the Housing Ordinance (Cap. 283) ("the Ordinance"). The question is whether the panel can entertain an appeal if the appeal is lodged out of time. The panel decided that it could not. On an application for judicial review of that decision, Hartmann J agreed. The would-be appellant now appeals to the Court of Appeal.
