Summary

The applicant, a Pakistani national also known as Ghulam Rasool, sought leave to apply for judicial review of a 2017 Torture Claims Appeal Board decision rejecting his non-refoulement claim. The application was filed significantly out of time, approximately three years after the Board's decision. The application for leave was dismissed, with the court finding the delay was not adequately explained and the grounds lacked merit.
