RE NGO THI BIC THUY AND ANOTHER

Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV287/2024

The appeal is dismissed because the applicants failed to identify viable grounds to show the Judge erred in refusing leave; the Board's negative credibility findings and assessments that state protection and internal relocation were available were within its fact-finding province and not shown to be legally wrong, procedurally unfair or irrational; the minor's claim was properly considered and lack of representation was a mere irregularity, so leave was correctly refused.

PURLASTRI AND ANOTHER v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2022] HKCFI 428
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1892/2018

The court allowed the late amendment to add the child applicant but refused to extend time and refused leave because the applicants offered no good reason for the 6.5‑month delay and the intended judicial review was not reasonably arguable; TCAB's factual findings on low real risk, adequate state protection and feasible internal relocation were reasonable and there was no procedural unfairness amounting to error of law.
