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 Levy:
Leave to apply for Judicial Review be dismissed.
Observations for the Applicant:
1. The applicant was an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh. In a non-refoulement claim made to the Director of Immigration (“the Director”), the applicant asserted that there was a real risk of torture if refouled. The claim was rejected by the Director, and the appeal to the Torture Claims Appeal Board (“the Board”) also failed. On 28 January 2021, a prescribed Form 86 was filed to apply for leave for judicial review of the Board’s Decision.
2. In neither Form 86 nor the affirmation in support did the applicant provide any grounds to support the leave application, which should accordingly be dismissed.
3. The court recently received information from the Immigration Department that the applicant has passed away.
Dated the 27th day of November 2024
