Civil procedure – extension of time to appeal – judicial review – non-refoulement – delay – prospects of appeal – The applicant, a Pakistani national, sought an extension of time to appeal against the refusal of leave to apply for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's decision dismissing his non-refoulement claim. The Court of Appeal applied the four-factor test: length of delay (six months, serious), reasons for delay (unexplained address change, unsatisfactory), prospects of appeal (no viable grounds), and prejudice. The intended appeal had no prospect of success, making extension futile. Application dismissed.
Legal issues: Extension of time to appeal against refusal of leave for judicial review
