MAHMOOD SHAHID v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2025] HKCFI 5519
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL124/2021

The leave application was dismissed because it was filed out of time without any explanation and the intended challenges lacked reasonable arguability: the Board's Earlier Decision and the Board's Decision contained adequate reasons, did not exhibit errors of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality, and satisfied the enhanced Wednesbury test; therefore no extension of time would be granted and leave is refused.

RE RAI SUBAS

Citation

[2019] HKCA 210
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV298/2018

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant's complaints were either not raised below or already addressed, the grounds were not reasonably arguable, and they were case‑specific rather than raising questions of great general or public importance under s22(1)(b) Cap 484; no basis existed under the "otherwise" limb.
