Immigration – non-refoulement – judicial review – leave to appeal – extension of time – appeal prospects – The applicant, a Bangladeshi national, claimed non-refoulement fearing harm from the Awami League due to his ICS affiliation. The Director of Immigration and the Torture Claims Appeal Board rejected the claim on credibility grounds. The applicant sought leave for judicial review, which was refused by Deputy High Court Judge Bruno Chan. The applicant then applied for extension of time to appeal that refusal, but the application was dismissed by the judge and by the Court of Appeal on renewed application. The Court of Appeal found that the applicant had not provided any viable grounds for appeal and the intended appeal had no prospect of success. The delay of two months was substantial and not satisfactorily explained. Application dismissed.
Legal issues: Extension of time to appeal against refusal of leave for judicial review
