The application for leave was dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate any arguable public law error by the Board; the Board's adverse credibility findings were open to it and judicial review cannot substitute for a merits rehearing; the Form 86 was amended on the court's own motion to name the Director of Immigration as a putative interested party.
