The Case
Where there was evidence before an Immigration Appeal Tribunal that there had been a major change of circumstances in an asylum seeker's home country, the tribunal had been entitled to conclude that the asylum seeker could not longer have a well-founded fear of persecution if she were to return, despite the ill-treatment she had suffered in the past.
