The High Court refused to leave to seek judicial review of the refusal by the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT) of subsidiary protection or refugee status. The court found that the applicant failed to demonstrate substantial grounds for the relief sought, as the complaint that the Tribunal did not use up-to-date country of origin information (COI) was not supported by a sufficient evidential platform. The court also noted that the applicant's delay in filing the proceedings was not compellingly explained, and the case presented did not meet the threshold of being "reasonable" or "weighty."
