Citation

[2025] HKCFI 3452
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1176/2020

Leave was refused because the Board's decision was neither irrational nor legally erroneous: the Board made permissible credibility findings, properly considered country information, reasonably concluded state protection and internal relocation were available, and the applicant's challenge was not reasonably arguable; the court amended Form 86 to name the Director of Immigration as Putative Interested Party.

RE SULISTYOWATI DWI KURNIA AND ANOTHER

Citation

[2019] HKCA 1009
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV584/2018

The applicants’ failure to lodge a skeleton argument as required justified vacating the oral hearing and proceeding on paper; on the available materials there was no arguable case of unlawfulness, unreasonableness or unfairness to justify leave for judicial review of the Director/Adjudicator/Board decisions, and where appeal to the Board was taken the Director’s decisions were not amenable to judicial review.
