RE AHMED WAQAR

Citation

[2026] HKCA 792
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV132/2026

The appeal is dismissed because the applicant failed to identify any error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Judge's decision refusing leave or in the Board's factual findings that local remedies and internal relocation options were available; additionally the applicant's failure to comply with Practice Direction 4.1 justified debarment from further written or oral submissions, and there was no basis to grant leave for judicial review.

RE NUR FEBRI PRIHATINI

Citation

[2021] HKCA 1712
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV374/2021

The Judge rightly refused an extension of time because the applicant's delay was inexcusable, the intended judicial review was not reasonably arguable (no pleaded error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality), and the applicant breached procedural obligations; the Court of Appeal, after anxious scrutiny, found no basis to interfere and dismissed the appeal.

RE INDAH DWI LESTARI

Citation

[2021] HKCA 795
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV424/2020

Leave to apply for judicial review was correctly refused because the applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable public law error in the Director's or Board's decisions; the Board's findings that the risk was localized and that state protection and internal relocation were viable were not shown to be legally flawed; procedural non-compliance with filing requirements justified dealing with the appeal on paper and there was no prospect of success.

RE KABIR TANIA

Citation

[2021] HKCA 600
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV492/2020

Leave to apply for judicial review was properly refused because the applicant did not identify any legal error, procedural unfairness or irrationality with sufficient particulars; the Board's factual conclusions on credibility and internal relocation were open to it; and the applicant's failure to comply with Practice Direction justified debarment and disposal of the appeal on paper.

RE ANWER DANISH

Citation

[2020] HKCA 201
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV256/2019

Appeal dismissed and leave to apply for judicial review refused because the applicant failed to identify any arguable public law ground; the Board and Director had properly applied the law and reached sustainable adverse credibility findings; there was no procedural unfairness, and the applicant's non-compliance with Practice Direction 4.1 justified debarment and dealing with the appeal on paper, so the intended judicial review had no prospect of success.
