Judicial review granted; RPD unreasonably ignored evidence of ELN presence in the proposed internal flight alternative.
The applicant sought judicial review of a Refugee Protection Division decision denying his refugee claim based on the availability of an internal flight alternative (IFA) in Barranquilla, Colombia.
The applicant argued the RPD ignored critical evidence showing the ELN operated in the proposed IFA.
The Federal Court found the RPD's conclusion regarding the lack of evidence of the ELN's presence in Barranquilla to be unreasonable, as it disregarded specific country condition documents squarely contradicting its findings.
The application for judicial review was allowed and the matter remitted for redetermination.
