Leave to apply for judicial review is dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate any reasonably arguable public law ground: the Board, as primary decision-maker, lawfully and reasonably assessed the evidence and made findings that the applicant suffered only minor injuries and did not meet thresholds for torture/CIDTP, BOR 2/3 or refugee recognition; moreover the two-tier USM process prevents a direct misconceived challenge to the Director's decision.
