Procedural Posture

Application for Leave to Apply for Judicial Review / Leave Application Refused

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the applicant faces a real risk of torture or non-derogable rights violations on return to Vietnam
  2. 2 Whether internal relocation within Vietnam is a reasonable alternative
  3. 3 Whether the Director and the Board committed legal error, irrationality or procedural unfairness warranting judicial review

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 Director's and the Board's decisions; both bodies lawfully found the risk from the creditor to be low, private and localized and that state protection and reasonable internal relocation in Vietnam were available, so judicial review was not warranted.
