Outer House ‘The petitioner is a stateless Palestinian from the Gaza Strip. He sought asylum based upon the risk to himself of being returned to that country. He left Gaza in October 2007, went to Libya then Greece and in February 2011 claimed asylum here. On 21 March his claim was refused. He appealed and on 9 May there was a hearing before Immigration Judge Grant-Hutchison. His claim was refused on 25 May on both asylum and human rights grounds (no 7/2 of process). Adverse credibility findings were made. On 14 June his application to appeal was dismissed by the First Tier Tribunal and on 15 August the upper tribunal dismissed a further appeal. On 11 May 2012 he made further submissions which the Minister refused on 31 May and on 12 June 2013 again made further submissions which on 1 July were refused (no 6/1 of process) by the Minister who also refused to accept them as a ‘fresh claim’.
