- HCAL1362/2025
Extension of time to apply for leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant filed seven months late and failed to demonstrate any realistic prospect of success: the Board's findings that the claim was unsubstantiated (no intent to kill, torture threshold not met, BOR 2 and BOR 3 not engaged, persecution not established, internal relocation viable) were factual assessments within the Board's remit and disclosed no legal error, irrationality or procedural unfairness warranting judicial review.
