IQBAL MAZHAR ALIAS MAZHAR IQBAL v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2021] HKCFI 1506
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1418/2020

The court acceded to the lead applicant's unequivocal request to withdraw the leave application and dismissed the application for all three applicants because the children's claims were premised on and represented by the father as next friend; the application was also plainly out of time under Order 53 r4(1) and no basis for extension was advanced, reinforcing dismissal.
