The High Court refused bail to a Georgian national detained since January 2025, pending deportation following a failed asylum claim. The court found a high risk of absconding based on the applicant's late initiation of legal processes to challenge the deportation order and the State's realistic intention to deport within the statutory period. The decision to refuse bail was influenced by the applicant's compliance with reporting requirements but was ultimately based on the credibility concerns surrounding the applicant's engagement with the protection process and the state's interest in effective immigration control.
