The High Court has quashed decisions of the International Protection Appeals Tribunal, which had refused international protection to two Georgian nationals. The Tribunal had determined that the applicants did not provide serious grounds for considering Georgia unsafe in their particular circumstances. However, the Court found that the Tribunal failed to provide a reasoned conclusion on the applicants' claims of police collusion with criminal gangs in Georgia. Consequently, the applications for international protection declarations have been remitted for reconsideration.
