What the petition asks
Introduce an independent pre-appeal review stage for asylum refusal decisions, allowing factual errors, misunderstandings, translation issues, and credibility concerns to be identified and corrected before cases proceed to tribunal appeal.
In our view, decisions with potentially irreversible consequences should not rely on a single subjective assessment without meaningful independent scrutiny. We think errors in factual understanding or translation should be addressed before appeal, as we believe the appeal process should not be the primary mechanism for correcting administrative errors. An independent pre-appeal review stage could improve accuracy, strengthen procedural safeguards, and reduce unnecessary appeals based on flawed initial decisions.
