Khail, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department

The Secretary of State's decision that the claimant's further submissions did not amount to a fresh claim was not irrational or unreasonable. The evidence did not establish a realistic prospect of success that the claimant, as a Pashtun, would face persecution or Article 3 ill-treatment in Kabul, nor did it show a specific risk to the claimant. The application for judicial review was therefore dismissed.
