Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant had no realistic prospect of success: the Board made reasoned, rational findings on credibility and evidence within its fact-finding remit, accepted incidents where supported but found exaggeration and inconsistency on key allegations, and properly concluded that state protection and internal relocation were available and the applicable risks were not established; no error of law or procedural unfairness was shown.
