Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to identify specific, reasonably arguable grounds; the Board had held a fair hearing, gave detailed and well-referenced reasons, made credibility findings properly within its fact-finding function, and there was no demonstrated error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Board's decision.

HUSSAIN MUNAWAR v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2021] HKCFI 2715
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1166/2021

The applicant's material did not demonstrate a significant change of circumstances such that, together with prior material, there was a realistic prospect of success under s37ZO; the Director's assessment of low risk, availability of state protection and internal relocation was not procedurally unfair or irrational; therefore leave to apply for judicial review was refused and a Restricted Proceedings Order was necessary to prevent abuse of process.
