Sandrasegarampillai v Secretary of State for the Home Department

Sandrasegarampillai v Secretary of State for the Home Department

The Tribunal's conclusion that the appellant was not a wanted man and would not be of adverse interest to the authorities on return to Sri Lanka was rationally supported by the facts, including his ability to move freely, lack of high profile, and absence from wanted lists. The failure to provide detailed reasoning did not amount to an error of law.
