Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review
NOTIFICATION of the Judge’s decision (Ord. 53 r. 3)

Following;

    consideration of documents only;      or
   consideration of documents and oral submissions by the Applicant in open court;

Order by Deputy High Court Judge K.W. Lung:

Leave to apply for Judicial Review be dismissed.

Observations for the Applicant:

THE APPLICATION 

1.Before the Court, the applicant applied for withdrawal of the application for judicial review of the Board’s Decision because he had married a Hong Kong resident and had obtained a Hong Kong Identity card. As such, the applicant’s application is devoid of merit.

2.There being no evidence that the application is made other than out of the applicant’s free will; and there being no outstanding matter in this action, the Court accedes to the applicant’s request and dismisses the application accordingly[1].

[1]   Re Manik Md Mahamudun Nabi [2022] HKCA 471 at §19:

“(1) The applicant on his own motion applied to the Court to withdraw his application for leave to apply for judicial review.  The Judge acceded to his application, whereupon there was nothing outstanding in the action.  The Judge was correct to conclude the action by ordering a dismissal of the application instead of leaving the action at large.”
