1. Mr Desmond Keane SC is a barrister. He practises in Hong Kong. Like many of his colleagues, he accepts instructions from the Director of Legal Aid. However, when a particular case was not assigned to him by the Director of Legal Aid, he commenced the proceedings to which this appeal relates. Those proceedings had an unusual history, and that history contributed to the eventual dismissal by Stone J of Mr Keane's application. Mr Keane now appeals against the dismissal of his application.
