Case Significance
Leung Ah Duen v. The Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation Ltd [2024] HKCFI 2592 arose from an application for leave to judicially review a decision of The Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation Limited, a housing matter rather than a non-refoulement claim. Mr Justice Coleman granted leave, holding that "Leave to apply for judicial review is granted on the papers." The parties were directed to propose jointly agreed directions towards a substantive hearing, with costs reserved.
The Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation Ltd has since appeared as plaintiff in a series of District Court possession-related matters, including The Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation Ltd v. Wong Sek Tim [2025] HKDC 142, The Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation Ltd v. Lee Soo Shim [2025] HKDC 241, and The Hong Kong Settlers Housing Corporation Ltd v. Fung Tak Lok [2025] HKDC 261.
