Summary
Five Filipino family members, including minor children, applied for leave to apply for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's decision dated 22 November 2019 rejecting their non-refoulement claims based on threats to their lives. The court dismissed the leave applications of the 1st, 2nd and 5th applicants, but granted leave to the 3rd and 4th applicants (the minor children) on the basis that the Board had erred in not giving separate consideration to their personal circumstances. The minors were directed to issue an originating summons by 31 December 2025.
