The applicants are a family from Afghanistan for whom UNE decided to end refugee status. The Court of Appeal confirmed the decision and the Supreme Court checked whether the Court of Appeal had correctly applied the Immigration Act. The Supreme Court confirmed the Court of Appeal's assessment and rejected the applicant's appeal, by finding that the possibility of internal flight alternative in the country of origin can be taken into account when assessing whether refugee status should cease. The assessment to end refugee status must also be based on the circumstances at the time of the decision, even in cases where the third country national has already been returned to the country when the decision is made.
