Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review
NOTIFICATION of the Judge’s decision (Ord. 53 r. 3)
Following;
Order by Deputy High Court Judge (Non-Refoulement Claims) Lewis Law made on 16 December 2025:
1. Leave to withdraw the application for leave to apply for judicial review be granted;
2. The application for leave to apply for judicial review be dismissed.
Observations for the Applicant:
1. By a Form 86 filed on 15 September 2021 (“Form 86”), the Applicant sought leave for judicial review of the decision of the Torture Claims Appeal Board/Non-Refoulement Claims Petition Office (“TCAB”) dated 9 September 2021 (“the TCAB Decision”), which was made pursuant to a petition/appeal from the decision of the Director of Immigration dated 14 October 2020.
2. On 12 December 2025, the Applicant filed an affirmation with the Court which said he wanted to withdraw this application. In the circumstances, I am satisfied that the Applicant decided to withdraw on his own volition and free will. I acceded to the application for withdrawal without adjudicating on its merits. As there was nothing outstanding, and the action should not be left at large, I further ordered that the leave application be dismissed: see Re Manik MD Mahamudun Nabi [2022] HKCA 471 at paragraph 19.
Dated the 19th day of December 2025
