判決理由書

上訴法庭法官張澤祐頒發上訴法庭判決理由書:

1.呈請人就本庭 2009 年 1 月 16 日的判案書提出申請,要求本庭給予許可,讓她向終審法院提出上訴。

2.呈請人的申請源自一項區域法院的判決,她必須就該判決獲得本庭的許可才可向上訴法庭提出上訴。本庭就該申請頒發判案書拒絕給予呈請人逾期上訴許可。

3.根據 HLF and MTC and LHN [2004] 3 HKLRD 241一案,終審法院清楚說明,若上訴法庭拒絕給予上訴許可,這即表示有關的判決不能成為一項可再向終審法院提出上訴的判決。這項指引適用於本案。

4.無論如何,呈請人的申請根本未能符合《香港終審法院條例》(‘《條例》’)(香港法例第 484 章)第 22(1) 條的要求。有關的申索額未達到《條例》所規定的 HK$1,000,000下限。呈請人亦未能顯示案件存有任何重大廣泛或關乎公眾利益的重要性,或有其他理由須交由終審法院審理。

5.基於上述原因,本庭拒絕呈請人的申請。
