Leave was granted because it was reasonably arguable that the immigration officer failed to apply the proper legal test for sexual‑orientation based non‑refoulement claims (HJ/HT), improperly relied on findings from a prior, materially different claim without adequate fresh assessment of relevant COI, and insufficiently assessed state protection and internal relocation; those defects met the threshold for leave to apply for judicial review.
