HK Television Network Ltd v The Chief Executive in Council
HK Court of First Instance, 24-Apr-2015
A victory for common sense and free market competition. HKTV successfully challenges the Government's decision to reject its TV license application; the court holds that the "gradual and orderly approach" adopted by the CE contradicted the stated policy of having no cap on the number of licensees, and HKTV had a legitimate expectation that this policy would be followed. There is one error in para 25: A new CE was not elected in July 2012. That is when he took office.
