Case Significance
Hoang Van Nang v. Torture Claims Appeal Board / Non-Refoulement Claims Petition Office [2024] HKCFI 329 was a Court of First Instance application for leave to seek judicial review of a non-refoulement claim, decided on 7 February 2024. The applicant, a Vietnamese national who had surrendered to the Immigration Department, based his claim on fear of a creditor who had threatened and assaulted him after he defaulted on a business loan taken out following a truck accident. He did not request an oral hearing, and the application was decided on the papers; the court found no realistic prospect of success and refused leave to apply for judicial review. The same party name recurs before the Court of Appeal in [2024] HKCA 415 and [2024] HKCA 731, and the underlying immigration matter continued as Hoang Van Nang v. Director of Immigration [2026] HKCFI 1022.
