Citation

[2019] HKCFI 981
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL931/2018

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the Applicant's complaints lacked reasonable arguability: the Adjudicator's adverse credibility findings and refusal of the non-refoulement claim were supported by evidence, the appeal bundle was served within the required timeframe, there was no procedural unfairness or error of law, and the Applicant failed to show real prejudice from lack of representation or language difficulties.
