Leave was refused because the applicant failed to present a reasonably arguable claim with realistic prospects: the grounds were vague and lacked required particulars; the Board conducted a fair hearing, provided detailed reasons and properly assessed evidence; no error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality was demonstrated; factual assessments are not for judicial review.

RE MD MIR SHAFI MIAH

Citation

[2018] HKCA 886
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CAMP88/2018

The summons for leave to appeal out of time was dismissed because, although the delay was short and excused, the intended appeal had no real prospect of success: the judge's refusal of leave involved no error of law, there was no procedural unfairness, the decisions of the Director and Board contained adequate reasons and satisfied the enhanced Wednesbury standard, and the applicant failed to identify any arguable error warranting extension of time.
