Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review / Decision on Leave Application (refused)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the applicant demonstrated an arguable error of law or procedural unfairness in the decisions of the Director and the Board
  2. 2 Whether the Director and the Board irrationally assessed risk of persecution, torture or BOR 2/3 breach
  3. 3 Whether internal relocation within Bangladesh was reasonably available to avoid refoulement

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable error of law, procedural unfairness or irrationality in the Director's or Board's decisions; both decision-makers properly assessed low intensity localized risk and availability of state protection or reasonable internal relocation, so there was no prospect of success on judicial review.
