Seagroatt J (giving the judgment of the Court):

1. This is an application to this Court, for the granting of a certificate under section 32(2) of the Court of Final Appeal Ordinance in respect of principally two questions which are attached to the Notice of Motion. Those matters, or the matters raised in these questions, were advanced fully by Mr Ching Y Wong SC on the hearing of the original application before us, and are set out fully in the judgment which was delivered in this case on 15 December last.

2. We do not consider that there is any point that requires our certification having dealt fully with those matters and the application is therefore dismissed.

Stuart-Moore, VP:

3. We make an order for taxed costs in favour of the Respondent. These costs are to be paid by each Applicant to the extent of 50%, leaving each of them to pay half of the costs of this application.

Representation:

Mr Ching Y Wong, SC, Mr M K Wong and Ms Kathy Tsang, instructed by Messrs Patrick Chung & Co., Solicitors for the Applicants

Mr Kevin Zervos, SADPP of the Department of Justice, for the Respondent
