Judicial review of RAD decision rejecting refugee claim based on internal flight alternative dismissed.
The applicants, a family from Colombia, sought judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision rejecting their refugee claim on the basis of an internal flight alternative in Colombia.
They alleged fear of persecution from local gangs and a national cartel.
The Federal Court held that the RAD reasonably found insufficient evidence linking the local gang to the national cartel and did not err in applying a balance of probabilities to assess whether agents of harm would search for the applicants.
The application was dismissed.
