High Court remits an asylum seeker's case for reconsideration after finding that the International Protection Office (IPO) made an incorrect assessment of her nationality. Initially, the applicant provided misleading information, claiming South African nationality, but later, with legal advice, submitted authentic Zimbabwean documents. The IPO's decision was based on the initial misinformation and failed to accurately consider the new evidence, leading to the application being processed under an accelerated procedure due to South Africa being deemed a safe country of origin.
