1. In the late summer of 1981 some of the Appellants, who are the Plaintiffs in the lower court, the 1st Defendant and the third party came together with a view to run a Maxicab Service in the New Territories. The Transport Department was then offering the franchise of what were to become New Territories routes 60 and 61. It would seem that each of the parties owned his or her own public light bus but none of them had resources sufficient to warrant an individual application.
