KHAN MUHAMMAD KASHIF v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION

Citation

[2021] HKCFI 97
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL2207/2020

The application for leave was dismissed because the applicant's challenge was not reasonably arguable and had no realistic prospect of success: the Director acted within the prevailing dependant visa policy, there were no extenuating or exceptional circumstances warranting reversal, and no illegality, Wednesbury unreasonableness or procedural unfairness was shown on the papers.

LAM FONG SI v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION

Citation

LAM FONG SI v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL79/2013

On the facts the Director did not misdirect himself: he understood the applicant's request was humanitarian, considered those factors against the overall immigration policy (including dependant policy), and rationally concluded there were no strong humanitarian or compassionate grounds to depart from policy; judicial review therefore fails.
