Held: The application succeeded, and ordered the Secretary of State to recognise her as a refugee and grant her leave to remain, saying: ‘I am satisfied that a determination of the ‘refugee’ status of the claimant in accordance with article 1 of the Refugee Convention was made by an appropriate tribunal, the AIT. The decision is binding upon the defendant and affords the claimant the protection of article 32(1). Accordingly I grant the relief sought by the claimant.’
