The High Court refuses judicial review of a decision refusing international protection to an applicant from Botswana, where significant inconsistencies had been found in her account. The applicant claimed domestic abuse and threats to her life as reasons for seeking asylum. However, the Tribunal highlighted discrepancies in her narrative, such as the failure to report her partner's alleged violence and the improbability of her frequent travel to South Africa against the partner's wishes. The court also dismissed the relevance of additional documentation submitted late, which did not materially support the applicant's claim.
