- HCAL110/2009
The court held the Director and Commissioner were entitled to conclude on the totality of evidence (including overseas authority letters and fingerprint comparison) that the applicant had obtained permissions by using a false identity and that his right of abode and earlier permissions were vitiated; the decision‑makers properly considered but reasonably discounted the applicant's late documentary material; non‑disclosure did not cause prejudice warranting quashing; extension of time was not justified. Judicial review dismissed and costs awarded against applicant.
