The High Court refused an application to quash a decision of the International Protection Appeals Tribunal which had upheld the refusal of refugee and subsidiary protection to an Albanian applicant. The applicant challenged the Tribunal's findings on grounds that it failed to properly consider submissions and did not give sufficient reasons for its negative credibility findings, particularly regarding violent threats, the use of masks by attackers, and the applicant's explanations about political connections. The Court concluded that the Tribunal provided adequate reasons for its decision and sufficiently addressed the applicant's submissions. Although a short extension of time was granted for bringing the proceedings, the substantive judicial review relief was refused. The result confirms the Tribunal's findings of lack of credibility in the applicant's protection claim.
