The applicants sought judicial review of a RAD decision confirming the RPD's dismissal of their refugee protection claims.

The RAD concluded the principal applicant was excluded under Article 1E of the Convention due to her permanent resident status in Brazil.

The applicants, minor citizens of Chad, sought judicial review of a Refugee Appeal Division decision denying their refugee protection claims.

The applicants had alleged a risk of targeting by child traffickers in Chad, independent of their mother's refugee claim which had been granted.

The application for judicial review was allowed and the matter was remitted for reconsideration.
