Blanket policies forbidding presence of lawyers at CAT questionnaire/interview and refusing public funding for indigent claimants are unlawful because they fail the high standard of procedural fairness required by Prabakar; the screening system is also unlawful insofar as the decision-maker is different from the interviewer and the decision-makers on petitions lack adequate training; petition determinations without oral hearing and without adequate reasons are procedurally unfair; claim of systemic bias failed on evidence.
