El-Rifai v Secretary of State for the Home Department: CA 17 Feb 2005

The applicant was a Palestinian born in the Lebanon, and appealed the dismissal of his application for asylum.
Held: The adjudicator had been referred to evidence of mistreatment of Palestinians in Lebanon, but then had failed to address that issue in his decision. The reports were credible, and a decision which did not address the risks identified could not stand.
