Case Significance

In Milon v. Torture Claims Appeal Board [2025] HKCA 285, the Court of Appeal considered an application for leave to appeal in a non-refoulement matter. Applying section 22(1)(b) of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Ordinance, the court held that 'leave to appeal is refused and the Notice of Motion is dismissed,' following earlier Court of First Instance proceedings in Milon v. Torture Claims Appeal Board [2024] HKCFI 1967.
