Dear Mr Shaffer,

        I refer to your email of 16 January 2019 requesting us to provide
information on the number of outstanding appeals/petitions ("appeals")
where there has/had already been a prior decision given/issued by the
Torture Claims Appeal Board/Non-refoulement Claims Petition Board ("the
Board").

As at 31 December 2018, the number of outstanding appeals which followed a
remittal/settlement in respect of judicial review proceedings against a
prior decision given/issued by the Board is as follows -

Pending decision Pending hearing/ further hearing Total
10 29 39

Apart from the above, the Board does not keep statistics on the number of
appeals where there has/had already been a prior decision given/issued by
the Board and thus, cannot be provided as requested.

Regards,
Theresa Lee
Security Bureau
