Mr Justice Ribeiro PJ:
1. We accept that guidance would be helpful in connection with the establishment of the status of “agent” for the purposes of section 9 of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (Cap 201) and grant leave on the basis that it is reasonably arguable that there has been substantial and grave injustice in that the law has been misapplied in the decisions below.
2. The appeal will be heard on 21 February 2020.
