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

Citation

[2025] HKCFI 2673
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1375/2024

Because the applicant filed an affirmation seeking to withdraw the Leave Application and there was nothing outstanding in the action, the court dismissed the Leave Application and amended Form 86 on its own motion to add the Director of Immigration as the proper interested party; substantive consideration of the Board's refusal to allow late filing was unnecessary as the issue was moot.
