- Case number
- HCAL980/2021
The leave application was dismissed because it was filed out of time (three days late) with no explanation or application for extension and, in any event, the applicant left Hong Kong voluntarily so that her torture claim was treated as withdrawn under section 37ZF(1) of the Immigration Ordinance, rendering the proposed judicial review otiose; accordingly no extension of time was granted and leave was refused.
