- High Court
The Tribunal erred in law by treating the third claim as essentially the same as prior claims based on similarity of grounds and evidence type without properly assessing whether the updated country information established a significant material change under s140; there existed a slim chance the RPO would assume jurisdiction and a slim chance of success on the merits, therefore legal aid should be granted.
