Judicial review dismissed; RAD reasonably concluded the applicants had a viable IFA in Nigeria.
The applicants, a Nigerian family, sought judicial review of a decision by the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) rejecting their claim for refugee protection on the basis of a viable internal flight alternative (IFA) in Abeokuta, Nigeria.
The applicants argued the RAD erred in its standard of proof for the IFA and unduly relied on a revoked Jurisprudential Guide.
The Federal Court found the RAD's decision reasonable, confirming the RAD correctly applied the balance of probabilities standard and appropriately used the Jurisprudential Guide's analytical framework based on the specific evidence of the case.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
