TRAN XUAN DONG V. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD

The applicant, a 41-year-old Vietnamese national who entered Hong Kong illegally, sought leave to apply for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's decision dismissing his non-refoulement claim based on fear of harm from a creditor over unpaid debts. The court found his claim lacked substance and credibility. The application for leave to apply for judicial review was dismissed.
