MAHASATHU HEWAGE MACKSHI ROHAN SILVA V. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD / NON-REFOULEMENT CLAIMS PETITION OFFICE

Mahasathu Hewage Mackshi Rohan Silva, a Sri Lankan national, applied for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal after his non-refoulement appeal was dismissed for failure to prosecute due to non-compliance with court directions. The Court of Appeal found his grounds were bare assertions unsupported by evidence, and he had failed to identify any question of great general or public importance. The application was dismissed.
