Summary

Pakistani applicant Shakeel sought an extension of time to appeal the refusal of leave for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's 2nd decision dismissing his non-refoulement claim. The Board had rejected his appeal against the Director of Immigration's decision. The Court of Appeal (Barma and Au JJA) dismissed the application, finding the appeal had no reasonable prospect of success.
