Procedural Posture

Judicial Review Application for Leave / Leave Application Refused

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Board erred in law in rejecting the non-refoulement claims
  2. 2 Whether the Board was irrational or Wednesbury unreasonable in its findings of fact and credibility
  3. 3 Whether procedural unfairness occurred before the Board

Ratio Decidendi

The Board's negative credibility findings and conclusion that there was no factual basis for non-refoulement protection were rational, legally sound and reached after fair process; no error of law, procedural unfairness or Wednesbury unreasonableness was demonstrated, therefore leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the proposed judicial review was not reasonably arguable.
