BILAL v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD AND ANOTHER

Citation

[2023] HKCA 24
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV344/2022

The Court dismissed the appeal because the judge correctly applied the law and did not err: interpreter services had been provided, the applicant had representation at Director stage, the Board's credibility findings and conclusions on availability of state protection and internal relocation were reasonable, and no procedural unfairness or error of law was demonstrated so there was no prospect of success in a judicial review.

RE TAMANG SHANTI

Citation

[2020] HKCA 1024
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV221/2020

The judge correctly refused leave because the applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable public law ground: her complaints about lack of legal/translation assistance lacked particulars and she had access to interpreters and assistance; the Board's adverse credibility finding and internal relocation assessment are matters for the Board and are not susceptible to judicial review absent identifiable legal error, irrationality or procedural unfairness.
