The Tribunal had considered the applicant's claims in detail, made credibility and factual findings open on the material before it, and relied on inconsistencies, changes in the applicant's account, and independent country information. The Court found no procedural error, error of law, actual bias, or absence of evidence or material justifying the Tribunal's decision.
