The application for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate that the intended appeal raised a question of great general or public importance under s22(1)(b) Cap 484 and failed to show any prospects of success; there was no need for an oral hearing and the matter could be decided on the papers.

X v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD

Citation

X v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL143/2013

Leave to apply for judicial review was granted because there was a real and arguable issue whether procedural fairness required an oral hearing to test credibility and allow explanation of culturally specific tribal practices; the other grounds (irrelevant considerations, findings on public official status, and relocation) were not reasonably arguable on the evidence before the adjudicator.
