Judicial review dismissed as RAD's assessment of Internal Flight Alternative in Nigeria was reasonable.
The applicants applied for judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) decision dismissing their appeal for refugee protection.
The principal applicant claimed a fear of domestic abuse from her husband in Nigeria and that her daughter faced a risk of forced female genital mutilation.
The RAD found a viable Internal Flight Alternative (IFA) in Port Harcourt.
The Federal Court held the RAD's IFA assessment was reasonable and that the RAD's reference to the revoked Nigeria Jurisprudential Guide did not render the decision unreasonable as the RAD independently assessed the evidence.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
