- HCAL923/2023
Leave was refused because the Applicant's grounds were bare, vague and lacked necessary particulars to show any legal error, procedural unfairness or irrationality by the Director or the Board; the Director and Board reasonably assessed the risk as low, found state protection and internal relocation available, and there was no prospect of success; the Applicant subsequently confirmed it was safe to return to the Philippines, reinforcing dismissal of the leave application.
