Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the Applicant failed to identify any reasonably arguable legal error or procedural unfairness in the Director's or the Board's decisions. The primary decision-makers lawfully assessed the evidence, concluded the risk was localized and low, found state protection and internal relocation available, and exercised discretion appropriately regarding representation, translation and oral hearing; judicial review is not a forum to retry these factual evaluations.
