Leave was refused because the applicant failed to particularise any arguable grounds of public law error, the court could discern no reasonably arguable case of procedural unfairness, error of law or irrationality in the TCAB decision (notably on credibility, state protection and internal relocation), and the application was brought over 41 months out of time with no acceptable explanation such as to justify an extension of time; accordingly the application for leave to apply for judicial review was dismissed and the Form 86 amended on the court's own motion.
