Last updated: 2019-11-28 17:46Police and anti-revised demonstrators clashed fiercely in the vicinity of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for several days, and then surrounded PolyU. "Cheung Chau Review King" Guo Zhuojian was dissatisfied with the police's accusation that all students and staff members were thugs without evidence. They had previously applied for judicial review and asked the court to order the police to behave inappropriately. The High Court issued a judgment today (28th), referring to what happened on that day, which is basically a case where the police have the power to enforce the law. Guo Zhuojian did not provide sufficient grounds, saying that the police decision was unreasonable or illegal, and he refused to grant permission for judicial review.
Official points out that there is no reason to prove that the police are wrong
The applicant was Guo Zhuojian, and the respondent was Commissioner of Police Deng Bingqiang.
The judge stated in his judgment that the police had monitored or even controlled the movement of PolyU based on what happened that day. In the absence of substantive evidence to prove what was wrong, the police generally had enforcement powers based on legal principles. Without specific details, the applicant failed to provide sufficient justification to convince the judge that the police's current conduct was illegal or unreasonable.
Difficult to judge by a newspaper report
Support the applicant with a newspaper report attached to it. The judge pointed out that it is difficult to judge by a report whether the content of the report is completely accurate. Even considering the content of the report, some police officers did not act erroneously, which did not affect the legitimacy and rationality of the entire police deployment.
The verdict continued that the applicant did not provide sufficient grounds, said that the police decision was unreasonable or illegal, and failed to show that the matter he pointed out was a reasonably controversial ground, and it refused to grant permission for judicial review.
