Citation

[2023] HKCFI 548
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1192/2022

The Director lawfully refused permission to make a subsequent non-refoulement claim because the applicant failed to show a significant change of circumstances or a realistic prospect of success under s37ZO; there was no error of law or procedural unfairness, and a RPO was justified to prevent further abuse of process given repeated, meritless attempts to re-litigate finally determined claims.

MOHAMMED RONI KHAN v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2023] HKCFI 491
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL827/2022

The Director lawfully refused permission to make a subsequent claim under s37ZO because the Applicant failed to provide sufficient written evidence of a significant change of circumstances or that, together with previous material, the claim had a realistic prospect of success; there was no error of law or procedural unfairness in that decision, and an RPO was justified under s27/s27A and the Court's inherent jurisdiction to prevent persistent, vexatious relitigation after final determinations.
