Regina v Secretary of State for Home Department ex parte Senkoy: CA 2 Mar 2001

There does not have to be a change in the nature of the persecution to be feared for a new claim to asylum.
Held: ‘When clear and cogent evidence of the same fear of the same persecution for the same Convention reason, let us say of the possibility of the execution of an applicant on return, becomes available which was not previously not available, can it really be right to treat that as not amounting to a new claim for asylum?’
