Director of Immigration

In the court record

Director of Immigration is a party organization that has appeared before the Hong Kong courts across a long span of reported matters, from 1998 to 2026, most often as the putative interested party in judicial review applications concerning non-refoulement and torture claims. The Court of First Instance has heard the bulk of these matters, though a substantial share reached the Court of Appeal, including a cluster of 2026 filings such as Muhammad Adnan v Torture Claims Appeal Board / Non-Refoulement Claims Petition Office [2026] HKCA 1143, Ranjeet Singh v Torture Claims Appeal Board / Non-Refoulement Claims Petition Office [2026] HKCA 1160, and Nguyen Xuan Cuong v Torture Claims Appeal Board [2026] HKCA 1125.

Beyond its predominant role as putative interested party, the Director of Immigration has also appeared as putative respondent, defendant, respondent, interested party, and appellant across the reported record, reflecting its involvement in the Judicial Review & Immigration, Children, Custody & Adoption, and Drug Offences areas. Other 2026 filings in the same Court of Appeal cluster include Asghar Shah Ali v Torture Claims Appeal Board / Non-Refoulement Claims Petition Office [2026] HKCA 1123, Khan Zabat v Torture Claims Appeal Board [2026] HKCA 1122, Vu Cong Diep v Torture Claims Appeal Board / Non-Refoulement Claims Petition Office [2026] HKCA 1126, and Prado Moises Estonilo v Torture Claims Appeal Board [2026] HKCA 1119.
