RAMESH KUMAR v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2026] HKCFI 209
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL693/2021

Leave was refused because the applicant failed to identify grounds of judicial review and the TCAB decision, which had considered the evidence and applied the correct legal principles, disclosed no error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality and the intended challenge was not reasonably arguable.

RE TASINIH

Citation

[2023] HKCA 422
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV353/2022

The applicant's delay of over three years was inordinate and unexplained; she failed to identify any arguable public law error in the Director's or Board's decisions; accordingly there was no good reason to extend time and no prospect of success on the merits, so refusal to extend time and dismissal of the leave application was correct.

RE AMANPREET SINGH

Citation

[2022] HKCA 652
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV569/2021

The delay in seeking leave was serious and the applicant did not present any viable ground showing the Board or the judge erred in law or acted with procedural unfairness; therefore the judge correctly refused an extension of time and dismissed the application and the appeal is dismissed.
