Citation

[2026] HKCFI 2523
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL2466/2024

Refusal to extend time: applicant failed to explain more than 11 months' delay and the intended appeal had no realistic prospect of success because the Board and Director found the non-refoulement claim unsubstantiated; procedural and precedent factors therefore do not justify extension.

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1063/2020

The court refused to extend time and dismissed the application because the applicants' intended appeal had no realistic prospect of success, the Board's findings that the non-refoulement claims were unsubstantiated were not shown to be challengeable, and the court's service by ordinary post was valid leading to deemed receipt; accordingly no extension of time was justified.
