DO THI NGOAN AND ANOTHER V. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD

The applicants, a 37-year-old Vietnamese mother and her Hong Kong-born son, applied for leave to seek judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's decision rejecting their non-refoulement claim. The mother had previously entered Hong Kong illegally twice and been repatriated, then returned a third time and raised a claim based on fear of harm from a creditor over unpaid debts. Leave to apply for judicial review was refused.
