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 K.W. Lung:
The application for leave to apply for judicial review be dismissed.
Observations for the Applicant:
1. The applicant is an illegal immigrant by overstaying. He lodged non-refoulement claim with the Immigration Department and was rejected by the Director of Immigration (“the Director”). He appealed to the Torture Claims Appeal Board (the “Board”) and, by the Board’s Decision, his appeal was dismissed by the Board. He had taken his case to the High Court and the Court of Final Appeal. All his applications were dismissed. He then made a subsequent claim with the Director. By Notice of Decision dated 17 June 2021 (“the Director’s Decision”), the Director rejected his application for subsequent claim.
2. The applicant filed Form 86 on 24 October 2022 for application for leave to apply for judicial review of the Director’s Decision. The Court had fixed the hearing date on 23 November 2022 on his application for judicial review and whether restrictive proceedings order should be imposed on the applicant.
3. Before the Court, the applicant applied to withdraw his application because he wants to go back to his country as his problems have been solved.
4. In accordance with the Court of Appeal in Re Manik Md Mahamudun Nabi [2022] HKCA 471 at §19:
“(1) The applicant on his own motion applied to the Court to withdraw his application for leave to apply for judicial review. The Judge acceded to his application, whereupon there was nothing outstanding in the action. The Judge was correct to conclude the action by ordering a dismissal of the application instead of leaving the action at large.”
5. The application is therefore dismissed.
Dated the 19th day of January 2023.
