Summary

The applicant, a Pakistani national, sought leave to apply for judicial review of two decisions by the Torture Claims Appeal Board (dated 2017 and 2019) dismissing his non-refoulement claim. The court found the application was filed significantly out of time and lacked merit on all applicable grounds. Both the extension of time and leave to apply for judicial review were refused.
