Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1312/2023

The court dismissed the application for leave to apply for judicial review because the applicant voluntarily withdrew the application, the application was devoid of merit, and there was no outstanding matter in the action, such that dismissal rather than leaving the action at large was appropriate under the authority of Manik Md Mahamudun Nabi and Order 53.

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

Citation

[2024] HKCFI 2416
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL740/2020

The extension of time was refused and leave denied because the delay of about seventeen and a half months was inordinate and the applicant gave no reasonable or credible explanation; an applicant must keep authorities informed of contact details and inordinate unexplained delay alone justifies refusal without examining merits.
