Citation

[2019] HKCFI 665
Court

Court of First Instance

Leave was refused because the Director and the Board lawfully and reasonably found the risk to be localized, that the applicant was not specifically targeted, that state protection and internal relocation in Pakistan were available on the evidence, and there was no error of law or procedural unfairness; therefore the applicant had no realistic prospect of success on judicial review.
