The High Court has refused leave to challenge a deportation order against a Nigerian national and her children, finding no arguable grounds for judicial review. The court determined that the applicant failed to substantiate claims of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) risk during the ministerial review process, despite the opportunity to do so. The International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT) had previously rejected the applicant's claim as lacking credibility, and the applicant did not challenge this decision or present new evidence to the Minister before the deportation order was made. The court emphasised that the Minister's decision cannot be impugned based on information not previously presented.
