Hong Kong government says golf course flats study has ‘no legal effect’ in appeal
Hong Kong's government is appealing a court ruling related to an environmental impact assessment for a public housing project on part of the city's oldest golf course. A government lawyer argued in the Court of Appeal that an environmental study on building 12,000 public flats on 9.5 hectares of the 172-hectare golf course holds 'no legal effect.' The case could determine whether the project must return to the public consultation stage.
