AMANDEEP SINGH v. DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION

Citation

[2024] HKCFI 3686
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1073/2021

Extension of time refused because the applicant failed to provide a reasonable explanation for the delay (he did not keep the court informed of his change of address) and he advanced no grounds of appeal with a real prospect of success, so the balance of factors did not justify granting an extension.

MUHAMMAD TANVEER v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE

Citation

[2023] HKCA 526
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CAMP446/2022

Extension of time to appeal refused because the delay was substantial and unexplained, the applicant failed to demonstrate any arguable error of law or procedural unfairness in the Board's decision (which was rational and not Wednesbury‑unreasonable), and the intended appeal had no realistic prospect of success such that granting an extension would be prejudicial and futile.
