Non-refoulement – judicial review – leave to apply – appeal – skeleton submissions – legal representation – fairness – Practice Direction 4.1 – The applicant, a Pakistani national, claimed fear of harm from a Sunni Muslim organization. The Director of Immigration and the Torture Claims Appeal Board rejected his claim. The judge refused leave for judicial review, finding no error of law or procedure and no reasonably arguable basis. On appeal, the applicant argued lack of legal representation, but the court held that the ground did not identify any error, was not raised below, and there is no absolute right to free legal representation at all stages. The appeal was dismissed.
