The Notice of Motion sets out three questions, which the
applicant contends, are involved in the appeal and are of great general or
public importance. They are:
“(1) Whether any exemption applicable under the Personal Data
(Privacy) Ordinance (“Cap. 486”) must be considered and
whether it must be proved that the party being complained of
(that is, the data user) has contravened the Data Protection
Principle(s) (“DPP”) during the process leading to the
conclusion that the data user has contravened concerned DPP
and to issuing an Enforcement Notice? If NO (no), then
whether Cap. 486 is in violation of the spirit of the common
law where the burden of proof rests with the accusing party,
and whether Cap. 486 is in infringement of the rights of
persons stipulated in Article 11 of the Hong Kong Bill of
Rights Ordinance, since contravention of Enforcement Notice
automatically becomes an offence in Cap. 486?
(2) Whether a conversation (being recorded or not), itself without
any personal data, can be regarded as personal data under Cap.
486 when taken together with a named and identifiable person
who spoke the conversation? If it can, then whether the voice
in the conversation or the content of the conversation is being
regarded as personal data?
(3) Whether the personal data (under Cap. 486) being used must be
private facts and not public facts, and must be offensive and
objectionable to a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities?
If not, then whether Cap. 486 is in infringement of the rights
of persons stipulated under Article 27 of the Basic Law of
Hong Kong SAR and Article 16 of the Hong Kong Bill of
Rights Ordinance regarding freedom of speech, of the press
and publication and freedom of opinion and expression
respectively?”
