Citation

[2025] HKCFI 1727
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL451/2020

The leave application was dismissed because the applicant failed to particularize grounds or provide supporting affidavit and did not show any public law error, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Board's detailed credibility and fact findings; therefore the intended judicial review challenge was not reasonably arguable and had no realistic prospects of success.

CAMARA LAMIN M v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD

Citation

[2024] HKCA 1044
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV294/2024

The appeal is dismissed because the applicant failed to identify any error of law or procedural unfairness in the Board's decision or in the judge's refusal of leave; the Board's detailed adverse credibility findings left no reasonably arguable basis for judicial review and the appellant also failed to comply with procedural directions, leading to determination on paper.
