- HCAL1065/2021
Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to identify any error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the NRCPO's decision; the NRCPO's adverse credibility and factual findings fall within the Board's primary function and may not be disturbed by the court on judicial review absent specified legal defects. The court amended the Form 86 to identify the correct respondent and added the Director of Immigration as a putative interested party but dismissed the leave application on the merits.
