Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1699/2021

The Board's findings on credibility, absence of concrete evidence of targeted state action, availability of state protection and viability of internal relocation were lawful and rational; there were no errors of law, procedural unfairness or Wednesbury irrationality, and the applicant therefore had no realistic prospect of success — leave to apply for judicial review was refused.

RE MEHMOOD QASIR

Citation

[2021] HKCA 1531
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number
