Civil procedure – leave to appeal to Court of Final Appeal – s.22(1)(b) Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Ordinance Cap 484 – judicial review of decision of Torture Claims Appeal Board – fear of refoulement to the Philippines – reapplication for extension of time to appeal to the Court of Appeal previously dismissed – applicant acting in person – whether question of great general or public importance arises – general assertions of fear of refoulement not a proper ground of appeal – application cannot be used to re-run arguments already canvassed (Ho Sin Ying v Chan Yui Ling & Another) – contentions are fact-specific and do not relate to any question of great general or public importance – no basis under the 'or otherwise' limb – application for leave to appeal to CFA refused and Notice of Motion dismissed.
