HOSEN MOHAMMAD UZZAL v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD AND ANOTHER [Decision on Leave Application]

HOSEN MOHAMMAD UZZAL v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD AND ANOTHER [Decision on Leave Application]

Leave was refused because the Applicant failed to identify any legal error or procedural unfairness in the Director's or Board's decisions; the adverse credibility findings and conclusions on low risk and reasonable internal relocation were rational and supported by evidence and case law, so the grounds advanced were not reasonably arguable.
