Leave to apply for judicial review was dismissed because the applicant had been removed from Hong Kong and, under section 37ZF, his torture/non-refoulement claim is deemed withdrawn; consequently any judicial review would be otiose and serve no practical purpose, justifying refusal of relief and dismissal for case management.
