Immigration – non-refoulement – judicial review – leave to apply – appeal – grounds of appeal – prospect of success – Board findings – state protection – internal relocation – appeal dismissed – The applicant, a Pakistani national, entered Hong Kong illegally and claimed non-refoulement based on fear of harm from his girlfriend's family. The Director and Board rejected the claim, finding it private in nature with state protection and internal relocation available. The Judge refused leave for judicial review, finding no error of law or procedural unfairness. On appeal, the Court of Appeal held that the grounds of appeal only challenged the Director's decisions and did not identify any error in the Judge's decision, and the Board's findings were justified. The appeal was dismissed as having no prospect of success.
