Hon Stock JA:

1.I shall grant the applicant leave in this case simply because, on balance, I think that the point that he raises deserves to be heard.  I have made it clear to him that that is not to be equated with any assessment of his chances of success.  The point that seems to me deserves a hearing is his comparison with the case of R v Chan Sui-to and another [1996] 2 HKCLR 128. 

Applicant, LIU WAH KING, in person

Mr Jackson Poon, SGC of the Department of Justice for the Respondent
