    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV286/2011

    The Court held the adjudicator was entitled to find that internal relocation to the cities suggested by the Director was a reasonable alternative and that the applicant failed to discharge the burden of proof that relocation would be unsafe or unduly harsh. There was no duty to direct the Director to make further inquiries into D's territorial reach absent a request or demonstrated difficulty in obtaining relevant information, and the adjudicator's conclusion on internal relocation was not susceptible to judicial review interference after rigorous examination.
