Procedural Posture

Refugee Appeal Under IRPA / RAD Decision on Appeal Confirming RPD

  1. 1 Whether the RPD erred in its credibility findings
  2. 2 Whether the RAD should admit and what weight to assign new psychiatric and affidavit evidence under Rule 29
  3. 3 Whether documentary evidence (police letter, medical note) is authentic and probative

Ratio Decidendi

The RAD confirmed the RPD because the Appellant's claim contained material omissions, contradictions and suspect documentary evidence; the new psychiatric report did not demonstrate memory impairment sufficient to explain those material defects nor validate the omitted or inconsistent evidence, and the neighbour affidavit/photos were either inadmissible or insufficient to overcome credibility findings, therefore the RPD's adverse credibility findings were upheld.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed; RPD decision confirmed pursuant to subsection 111(1)(a) IRPA.
