Leave to apply for judicial review and an injunction restraining removal were refused because the court found no arguable grounds that the Refugee Status Review Board or the Director of Immigration erred in law or reached Wednesbury unreasonable conclusions: the Board's factual findings and value judgments on whether treatment amounted to persecution were within reasonable bounds, the alleged private vendetta did not establish state-tolerated persecution, and the applicants' publicity did not create a credible sur place risk sufficient to undermine the refusal of refugee status.
