Citation

[2026] HKCFI 395
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL2227/2023

The applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Director's or the Board's decisions; both decision-makers properly assessed the evidence as showing a localized private dispute with low risk, available state protection and feasible internal relocation; consequently judicial review was not appropriate and leave was dismissed.

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

Citation

[2020] HKCFI 1207
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1848/2018

Leave was refused because the applicant failed to show any arguable or reasonable prospect of success: the Board's adverse credibility findings and conclusion that the claim was unsubstantiated, with state protection and internal relocation available, involved no legal error and were within the Board's evaluative remit.
