Citation

[2023] HKCFI 1419
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL549/2023

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate any arguable error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Board's decision; the Board's adverse credibility findings and conclusions that state protection and internal relocation were available were within its fact-finding remit and meant the applicant had no realistic prospect of success.
