Citation

Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV134/2018

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate actual unfairness from lack of written translation or legal representation, failed to specify any mistranslation or additional evidence he would have provided, and the Board's adverse credibility and risk findings were reasonably open on the evidence; accordingly there was no arguable ground with a realistic prospect of success.
