Citation

[2025] HKCFI 4619
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL2407/2020

Leave was refused because the application was filed out of time without any explanation, the applicant had validly withdrawn his appeal thereby rendering the Board functus officio and the Director's decision finally determined, there were no reasonably arguable grounds of legal error, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Director's or Board's decisions, and the applicant later confirmed it was safe for him to return, so there was no prospect of success.

ALI YASIR v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2022] HKCFI 1314
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL165/2022

Refusal of extension of time and refusal of leave was justified because the application was grossly out of time (over 20 months), the applicant gave no satisfactory explanation, the substantive challenge had no realistic prospect of success as the Board's findings on credibility, state protection and internal relocation were lawful and rational, and granting extension would cause prejudice to public administration and encourage abuse.
