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

    Citation
    [2026] HKCFI 1880
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAL1125/2025

    Leave was refused because the applicant failed to identify arguable grounds or make full and frank disclosure; the Board's adverse factual findings were within its remit and showed no public law error (error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality), so the intended challenge lacked realistic prospects of success.
