JUDGMENT

-----------------

1. The wife of the Applicant is an illegal immigrant and has been ordered to leave Hong Kong. She had been repatriated in fact a number of times for being an illegal immigrant. All avenues to permit her to stay in Hong Kong had been exhausted including petitioning the Governor and the Chief Executive. I have heard Mr. Yu who addressed me at great length and I have read the submissions of Miss Yeung. There is no ground whatever advanced to seek leave for Judicial Review. I have explained to Mr. Yu that humanitarian sympathy is not a ground on which this Court is permitted to grant leave for Judicial Review. In the circumstances, the application must be dismissed. I make no order of costs in respect of the application.
