- HCAL1175/2025
Extension of time refused because the short nine‑day delay was not justified by the applicant's reasons (ignorance of English and lack of knowledge how to appeal were insufficient), and the intended appeal had no realistic prospect of success given the Board's and Court's prior findings that the non-refoulement claim was unsubstantiated; accordingly the application for extension and the appeal out of time were dismissed.
