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) Martin Wong:
The application for leave to apply for judicial review be dismissed.
Observations for the Applicant:
Introduction
1. By a Form 86 Filed on 24 December 2019 (the “Form 86”), the Applicant applied for leave to apply for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board (the “TCAB”) dated 19 December 2019 affirming the decision by the Director of Immigration (the “DOI”) dated 11 September 2019 refusing the Applicant’s non-refoulement protection claim. He named the TCAB as the proposed respondent and the DOI as an interested party.
2. The Applicant requested for a hearing of this application and he attended the same. When asked if he had anything to add he confirmed that he had not.
Withdrawal of Application
3. After the hearing, the Applicant on 3 April 2025 by letter informed the Immigration Department that he wished to withdraw the present application and be returned. This was relayed to the Court by a letter of the Immigration Department dated 17 April 2025, enclosing a handwritten letter signed by the Applicant dated 3 April 2025.
4. There is nothing to indicate that the decision to withdraw was made other than out of the Applicant’s free will and there is nothing outstanding in this action, I therefore accede to the withdrawal and formally dismiss this application.
Dated the 12th day of May 2025
