The applicant, a citizen of China, sought judicial review of a decision by the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) confirming the rejection of his refugee claim.
The claim was based on a fear of persecution due to his Christian faith.
The RAD dismissed the appeal, finding that an arrest notice submitted by the applicant was fraudulent and that he was not a genuine Christian.
On judicial review, the Federal Court found that the RAD made a reviewable error in its analysis of the arrest notice by relying on contradictory country condition evidence.
The application for judicial review was allowed, and the matter was remitted for redetermination.
