Re Simranjit Singh

Read the full judgment text of HCAL 829/2017 on BabelCite. This High Court CFI judgment was delivered on 16 November 2018.

1. On 5 October 2018 I refused to extend time for the applicant’s late application for leave to apply for judicial review of the decision of the Director of Immigration in rejecting his non-refoulement claim upon finding no good reason to do so in the absence of any ground put forward by the applicant, nor could I find any reasonably arguable ground or any prospect of success in his intended application either.

1.On 5 October 2018 I refused to extend time for the applicant’s late application for leave to apply for judicial review of the decision of the Director of Immigration in rejecting his non-refoulement claim upon finding no good reason to do so in the absence of any ground put forward by the applicant, nor could I find any reasonably arguable ground or any prospect of success in his intended application either.

2.The applicant now by a summons issued on 19 October 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 the applicant did not provide any draft or proposed ground for his appeal, nor did he identify any error in the decision or provide any particulars that the decision was unfair or unreasonable, without which I am unable to find any prospect of success in his intended appeal.

3.In the premises it would be futile to grant leave for what appears to me a hopeless appeal.  Accordingly I refuse his application for leave to appeal and dismiss his summons.
