High Court refuses leave for judicial review of a decision to revoke the applicant's refugee status as the Applicant failed to prove the grounds advanced, finding inter alia the Applicant: (a) was afforded due and fair process; (b) failed to prove that the process is 'institutionally unfair’; (c) failed to establish that the process was 'fundamentally flawed'; and (d) had failed to take advantage of the alternative available remedy of a Circuit Court appeal, which would have provided for a fresh hearing.
Judicial Review – citizenship – refugee status - Applicant challenges the fairness and legality of the decision-making process, found in s.52 of the International Protection Act 2015 (“the 2015 Act”), which led to the Respondent’s decision of 18 May 2021 to revoke the Applicant’s refugee status – Applicant was subject to European Arrest Warrant – revoked refugee status – I am satisfied that the Applicant has failed to establish that the s.52 process is, what his counsel described as “institutionally unfair” - Applicant has not established that the first-instance process was in any way unfair – circuit court appeals – leave refused.
