Citation

[2021] HKCFI 3774
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1584/2021

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to identify any arguable ground; the Board's decision that the claim was unsubstantiated (due to inconsistent evidence, credibility issues, and availability of state protection and internal relocation) disclosed no error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality and the applicant had no realistic prospect of success.
