Citation

[2023] HKCFI 634
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL48/2023

The Director lawfully dismissed the subsequent claim under s37ZO because the applicant produced no fresh credible material showing a significant change of circumstances and thus there was no realistic prospect of success; the applicant's conduct amounted to an abuse of process, so leave is refused and an RPO is made.

TMF v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION AND ANOTHER

Citation

TMF v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL214/2015

The application for extension of time and leave to apply for judicial review was refused because there was a very substantial unexplained delay (approximately two and a half years), insufficient explanation or nexus for delay (including legal aid and mental health claims), the proceedings would serve no useful purpose given an outstanding wider CIDTP/USM screening claim, and allowing the application would be detrimental to good administration.
