Stuart-Moore VP (giving the judgment of the Court):
1. This is an application which has been brought under the provisions of section 32(2) of the Court of Final Appeal Ordinance, Cap. 484, for a certificate that points of law of great and general importance are involved in the judgment of this court which was handed down on 19 March 2001. We are asked to certify on five points which are set out in the application dated 27 March 2001. It is unnecessary to set these out again. We have already given a comprehensive judgment in this matter.
2. Having heard the most ably expressed submissions made on behalf of the Applicant by Mr Edwin Choy Wai-bond, we decline to grant a certificate in respect of any of the points raised.
