Adverse credibilty findings were at variance with reason and common sense

Judicial review – asylum and immigration – substantive hearing – Nigerian natioanl challenging the decision of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal refusing her refugee status – assessment of credibility – claimed that she was kidnapped and held captive for in or about three weeks when she managed to escape – test for unreasonableness and/or irrationality – credibility of core claim impugned -whether credibility findings can be severred from the decision – assessment of credibility must be made by reference to the full picture that emerges from the available evidence and information taken as a whole - must not be based on a perceived, correct instinct or gut feeling as to whether the truth is or is not being told - a finding of lack of credibility must be based on correct facts, untainted by conjecture or speculation and the reasons drawn from such facts must be cogent and bear a legitimate connection to the adverse finding - Court determiend that the implication imputed by the decision maker is at variance with reason and common sense – error contaminates the balance of the decision - decision is unsafe – judicial review granted.
