CACV173/2026

The Board lawfully exercised its discretion under s37ZT by finding the applicant's reasons for delay unsatisfactory and by considering the merits; there was no demonstrable public law error in the Board's or the judge's decisions and therefore the refusal of extension of time and leave for judicial review was upheld and the appeal dismissed.

RE MAHMUD NASIR

Citation

[2019] HKCA 190
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV360/2018

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to identify any question of great general or public importance under s22(1)(b) and his substantive complaints about risk, assessment of country-of-origin information and procedural unfairness were found misplaced; no basis existed to grant leave under the "otherwise" limb, so statutory requirements for leave were not met.
