- High Court
The High Court dismissed the Crown's appeal, holding the Tribunal did not err in law by nominating Lagos as a manageable, representative site for IPA assessment and stopping after finding Lagos unsafe due to COVID-19 given the nationwide nature of the pandemic and evidence of appreciable risk elsewhere; the Tribunal acted within its broad discretion and was not required to sequentially assess every alternative location in Nigeria.
