The applicants, citizens of Colombia, sought judicial review of a Refugee Protection Division (RPD) decision rejecting their refugee claims due to a lack of credible and trustworthy evidence.
The RPD found multiple inconsistencies and implausibilities in the principal applicant's testimony regarding threats from a paramilitary group.
The Federal Court held that the RPD's negative credibility findings were reasonable and grounded in the evidence, and dismissed the application for judicial review.
