Summary

Iqbal Muhammad and five family members had their non-refoulement claims remitted to the Board for fresh determination after the Court of Appeal found, following a contested hearing, that the Board had erred in its treatment of the youngest child's (6th applicant's) claim. The 6th applicant, born in Hong Kong and represented by Cedric & Co under legal aid, had his claim separated from the family's dismissed claims. The remaining applicants' applications were dismissed.
