ROBLES MARIA CIRILA ATIENZA V. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE

The applicant, a Philippine national who had worked in Hong Kong as a domestic helper, appealed the refusal of leave to apply for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's decision rejecting her non-refoulement claim. She failed to lodge written submissions by the stipulated time, and the hearing was vacated and dealt with on paper. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the grounds consisted of bare allegations without particulars and no errors of law were demonstrated.
