- HCAL84/2024
The application for extension of time and leave to apply for judicial review is refused because the delay (over ten months) is inordinate, the applicant's explanations are incredible and unsupported, and the Board lawfully and reasonably applied the Begum principles and statutory requirements in finding no good reason to allow late filing; there is no arguable error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality to support leave.
