Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review (non Refoulement/torture Claim) / Leave Application Decision Refused

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Board erred in rejecting the Applicant's torture/non-refoulement claim
  2. 2 Whether the Board's adverse credibility findings were irrational or unsupported by evidence

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 decision; the Board's adverse credibility findings and conclusions that state protection and/or internal relocation negate real risk were open on the evidence and not susceptible to successful challenge on judicial review.
