The court held the applicant's withdrawal was an informed voluntary decision and that there was no indication it was unsafe for him to return, therefore the application for leave to apply for judicial review was allowed to be withdrawn.
15 Apr 2026
Leave to apply for judicial review was dismissed because the applicant voluntarily withdrew the application, there was no outstanding matter, and established authority requires dismissal in that circumstance rather than leaving the action at large.
10 Apr 2026
The appeal is dismissed because the applicant failed to advance any viable, particularised grounds to reverse the Judge's refusal of leave to apply for judicial review; under binding authority the Court of Appeal's role is confined to the grounds advanced and not to rehear the substantive non-refoulement decision, and the applicant's procedural non-compliance warranted disposal on paper.
24 Mar 2026
Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to identify a question of great general or public importance under section 22(1)(b) of Cap 484, failed to show any reasonably arguable error in the Court of Appeal's judgment, did not explain how cited legal principles were misapplied, and there was no basis to grant leave under the otherwise limb.
10 Mar 2026
Extension of time refused because the applicant offered no explanation for the one-day delay and there were no arguable grounds of appeal or realistic prospects of success; the applicant's submissions only reasserted facts rejected by the Board and did not establish error of law or procedural unfairness.
27 Feb 2026
The application for leave was dismissed because the applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable grounds of judicial review with a realistic prospect of success; absent such grounds the Court will not entertain a judicial review that effectively seeks to re‑open or appellate review of a magistrate's handling of bail.
5 Feb 2026
The application for leave to apply for judicial review is dismissed because the applicant failed to identify the relief sought and any reasonably arguable public law grounds with a realistic prospect of success; that failure is fatal to the grant of leave.
30 Jan 2026
The court allowed the withdrawal because the applicant communicated an intention to withdraw and the court, on reviewing the decision and papers, was satisfied the withdrawal was an informed, conscious and voluntary decision made with full understanding of its consequences, thus permitting withdrawal of the leave application.
31 Dec 2025
Because the applicant failed to apply to the Director to re-open her non-refoulement claim under s37ZG(3), did not return the required Non-refoulement Claim Form within the prescribed period despite reminders, provided no pleaded grounds or explanation for seeking judicial review after a multi-year delay, there was no legal or procedural basis to grant leave and the application for leave must be dismissed.
28 Nov 2025
Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to identify any question of great general or public importance under s22(1)(b) of Cap.484 and provided only vague assertions; no basis was shown under the "or otherwise" limb, so statutory requirements for leave were not met.
