Read the full judgment text of HCA 2107/2006 on BabelCite. This High Court CFI judgment was delivered on 23 November 2007.
1. Despite Yuen’s absence at the hearing of 23 November 2007, I am satisfied that we should proceed. She had in fact been at the court in the morning and it shows her pretext of not being able to attend due to the need to answer bail at the Immigration Department as spurious. It is clear to me that she deliberately chose to absent herself at the hearing. Given the grave circumstances of the matter, it is not in the interest of justice to have the hearing delayed.
