A, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2008] EWHC 3199 (Admin) (18 November 2008)

The Secretary of State's decision was not irrational; the applicant's submissions did not amount to a fresh claim under paragraph 353 as they were not significantly different from previously considered material and did not create a realistic prospect of success before an immigration judge.
