Applicant failed to identify any arguable legal error, irrationality or procedural unfairness in the Director's or Board's decisions; authorities establish no absolute right to free legal representation or continuous interpretation; applicant did not particularize grounds and produced no evidence that the Board misunderstood his case; therefore there was no prospect of success and leave to apply for judicial review was properly refused.

SARINGATUN v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE

Citation

[2023] HKCA 1050
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CAMP237/2022

Leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was refused because the applicant failed to identify any question of great general or public importance under s22(1)(b), sought to advance new grounds that were not previously raised and were time-barred, and there was no evidential basis to conclude she was denied necessary assistance (including for BOR 2 or interpretation); accordingly there was no prospect of success or basis to grant leave.
