- Court
- High Court
The Court dismissed leave applications because the Tribunal had expressly considered the expert evidence and relevant literature, the credibility concerns went beyond any effects of dissociation, the false passport issue was not determinative but the applicant's failure to produce his genuine passport undermined his account, and the absence of a live transcript did not produce demonstrated prejudice or raise an issue of general public importance warranting High Court review.

- Restriction on review under s249
- Credibility and corroboration
