Chan, CJHC :

This is a renewed application for leave to appeal out of time, the applicant having failed to obtain leave before Leong JA. He is also absent today.

2. The background in this case has been quite thoroughly and comprehensively set out in the judgment of the learned judge. I do not propose to repeat the facts. It would appear from the applicant's Notice of Application and his affirmation in support that the explanation for the delay in applying for leave to appeal is not acceptable. Further, there does not seem to be any arguable ground of appeal on which the applicant can rely to succeed in setting aside the order of the Lands Tribunal. In the circumstances, I would dismiss the application.

Liu, JA :

3. I agree.
