Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL927/2020

The leave application was dismissed because it was filed well outside the three‑month statutory period without any explanation or application for extension and, even on merits, the Board's decision disclosed no error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality warranting judicial review; therefore leave is refused.

PAUL MOORE HYGINUS TOCHUKWU v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2023] HKCFI 789
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL835/2019

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate any error of law, procedural unfairness or Wednesbury irrationality in the Board's decision; the Board's adverse credibility findings and conclusions about availability of state protection and viability of internal relocation were lawful and not open to successful challenge, so there was no realistic prospect of success.
