A FILIPINO domestic helper won permission yesterday to take her fight for permanent residency in Hong Kong to its top court, hoping for a landmark ruling that would let thousands of other foreign maids settle in the city. The judges said the Court of Final Appeal would have to decide whether immigration law is inconsistent with Hong Kong's mini-constitution, the Basic Law. The case has split the city. Some argue barring maids from settling permanently amounts to ethnic discrimination. Others fear letting them stay would result in an influx of their relatives, straining city resources.
