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 To:

1. Application to withdraw the application for leave to apply for Judicial Review (“Form 86”) be granted; and

2. Application for leave to apply for Judicial Review be withdrawn.

Observations for the Applicants:

Introduction

1.This Applicants’ application by Form 86 filed on 11 August 2025 for leave to apply for judicial review (the “leave application”) of the decision of the Torture Claims Appeal Board / Non-Refoulement Claims Petition Office (the “Board”) and the Director of Immigration (the “Director”) dismissing their appeal against the decision of the Director refusing their application for non-refoulement protection (the “Decision”).

2.On 20 May 2026, the Court received a letter from the 1^st Applicant via the Immigration Department applying on behalf of herself and the other two applicants to withdraw their leave application (the “withdrawal application”) asserting (i) that they want to return to their home country; and (ii) that their issues in their home country have been resolved. Reading the decision of the Board and all the papers, there is nothing to suggest that their decision to withdraw their leave application was made otherwise than out of their own free will and with full understanding of the consequences of the withdrawal. This Court is therefore of the view that their decision to withdraw is an informed and conscious decision voluntarily made. Hence, it allows their application for leave to apply for judicial review to be withdrawn.

Dated the 9^th day of June 2026
