Procedural Posture

Judicial Review (leave to Apply) / Leave Application Refused (order Made)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Board's adverse credibility findings were legally erroneous or irrational
  2. 2 Whether procedural unfairness or fettering of discretion occurred
  3. 3 Whether the Board failed to apply or consider BOR 2 (right to life) or BOR 3 risks

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable legal error, irrationality or procedural unfairness in the Board's detailed adverse credibility findings and conclusions that any risk was localized and internal relocation and state protection in Bangladesh were reasonably available; judicial review is not a rehearing of the merits.

Court Disposition

Leave to apply for judicial review refused.
