The High Court refused an applicant's request for a certificate for leave to appeal following an earlier decision denying permission to pursue judicial review of a deportation order and a refoulement decision. The court found that neither of the proposed legal questions raised points of law of exceptional public importance, nor was there any lack of clarity or uncertainty in the law that would warrant an appeal. The judge highlighted that the legal issues had been settled by previous case law, and the applicant's arguments did not reveal novel or systemic uncertainty. As a result, the application for a certificate was dismissed and no further appeal may proceed on these grounds.
