COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE

D E C I S I O N
1. On 21 November 2018 Deputy High Court Judge Lam refused to extend time for the applicant’s late application to apply for leave for judicial review of the decisions of the Director of Immigration and of the Torture Claims Appeal Board in rejecting/dismissing her non-refoulement claim upon finding her delay with her application by 2 ½ months excessive, that she did not have any good reason for such delay, and that none of the grounds put forward by her as reasonably arguable or with any prospect of success in her intended application.
2. The applicant now by a summons issued on 4 December 2018 seeks leave to appeal against that decision, and in considering whether to grant leave the Court will have regard to the prospect of the intended appeal, but neither in her summons or her supporting affirmation did she provide any draft or proposed ground for her intended appeal, nor did she identify any error in that decision or provide any particulars or explanation why she thinks that it was unfair or unreasonable. As such I am unable to see any prospect of success in her intended appeal.
3. In the premises it would be futile to grant leave for what appears to me a hopeless appeal. Accordingly I refuse her application for leave to appeal and dismiss her summons.
The applicant acted in person
