MAHMOOD TARIQ v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD [Decision on Leave Application]
- Citation
- [2026] HKCFI 269
- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCAL1103/2021
Leave to apply for judicial review was dismissed because the applicant had not exhausted the available statutory remedy of appealing to the Torture Claims Appeal Board under s37ZR(a) of the Immigration Ordinance and had failed to adduce documentary evidence showing circumstances beyond his control to justify reopening the claim under s37ZG(3); in the absence of an appeal and given the delay, there was no legal or procedural basis for the present leave application.
