The High Court refused to grant an Albanian national's application for judicial review, upholding the International Protection Appeals Tribunal's (IPAT) decision to deny refugee and subsidiary protection declarations. The IPAT had found the applicant's claim of persecution to be inconsistent and not credible, particularly regarding an alleged threat from his friend's father and the failure to report it to the police. The court concluded that the applicant failed to demonstrate substantial grounds for relief, as the inconsistencies in his account and the lack of a well-founded fear of persecution were not sufficiently addressed.
