Non-refoulement – judicial review – leave to appeal – Board decision – risk assessment – state protection – internal relocation – appeal dismissed – The 1st applicant, an Indonesian domestic helper, claimed non-refoulement protection for herself and her daughter based on risk from her father due to religious conversion and illegitimate birth. The Director of Immigration and the Torture Claims Appeal Board rejected the claims. The judge refused leave for judicial review, finding no reasonable prospect of success. On appeal, the Court of Appeal applied the principles from Nupur Mst v Director of Immigration – the court's role is limited to examining the judge's decision for errors of law, procedural unfairness, or irrationality. The applicants raised no viable ground and failed to comply with directions to lodge a skeleton argument. The appeal was dismissed.
