VIVAS FRANCIS GALIT V. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD

The applicant, a 30-year-old Filipino national who overstayed his visitor visa, 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 after losing his cock-breeding business. The court found the claim lacked credibility and merit. Leave to apply for judicial review was refused.
