The High Court has accepted an application for judicial review over the government’s plan to build a third runway at the airport.
The application was jointly submitted by a member of the Land Justice League and a Tung Chung resident.
They are seeking to overturn a decision by the Environmental Protection Department to approve an environmental impact assessment report and issue a permit for the expansion project in November last year.
The Executive Council gave the final go-ahead for the HK$140 billion project in March.
