Stuart-Moore, VP (giving the judgment of the Court):
1. We are invited to grant a certificate, pursuant to section 32(2) of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Ordinance, Cap. 484, on the points of law identified in the applicant’s amended Notice of Motion which are said to have been involved in the decision we handed down on 13 May 2005. The original (and undated) Notice of Motion, was received in the Court of Appeal on 15 June 2005. It was out of time. The amended Notice, dated 19 October 2005, is considerably out of time. No satisfactory explanation has been provided for the lateness in service of either document.
2. We do not consider this is an appropriate case in which to grant a certificate as the application comes too late and, in any event, no points of law of great and general importance which have not already been decided seem to us to have been raised. Accordingly, the application is dismissed.
