- HCAL2202/2023
The application to withdraw the leave application was refused and the leave application was dismissed because the applicant confirmed it was safe to return to Vietnam, rendering the non-refoulement claim otiose; accordingly there was no practical purpose in granting leave even if legal errors existed. The court also amended the party names to correctly identify the Torture Claims Appeal Board as putative respondent and the Director of Immigration as putative interested party.
