Leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was granted under s.22(1)(b) Cap.484 because the appeal raises issues of great general or public importance: (1) whether non-refoulement is a peremptory norm (jus cogens), (2) whether domestic legislation has validly excluded the norm in the HKSAR, and (3) whether there is a non-delegable duty of independent inquiry by the HKSAR Government into refugee status.
