High Court refuses an application for certiorari challenging the International Protection Appeals Tribunal's decision to deny the applicant refugee status or subsidiary protection. The applicant's credibility was questioned due to inconsistencies in her account of alleged harassment and threats. The court found no irrationality in the Tribunal's decision, which was based on multiple negative credibility indicators, and thus upheld the original decision. The doctrine of severability was not considered as the findings were not impugned.
