Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1609/2018

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant had no reasonable prospect of success: she failed to attend the Board hearing and produce evidence, the Board's adverse findings on credibility and remoteness of risk and availability of state protection were lawful and unchallenged, and delay and lack of justification meant no basis to stay or adjourn for legal aid.

GURUNG, TANUJA v. LILBURN, ARLENE

Citation

GURUNG, TANUJA v. LILBURN, ARLENE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP616/2011

The Plaintiff had prior and continuous possession superior in time to the Defendant, evidenced by earlier payment of rates, ongoing occupation and acknowledgement in the tenancy; the appellant's asserted authority from the Rating and Valuation Department and other defences were unsustainable; fresh affidavits were inadmissible for lack of special grounds; therefore the appeal under Order 113 fails and vacant possession is to be restored to the Plaintiff.
