  • Arbitrary nationality determination: systematic misclassification of Eritrean nationals; Ombudsman interventions and judicial scrutiny of administrative practices at Lesvos CCAC
  • Single-member Appeals Committees: unconstitutionality findings and implications for pending caseloads
  • SGBV and LGBTQIA+ claims: credibility assessment standards, vulnerability identification failures, and evidentiary gaps in interview records
  • Procedural irregularities: unlawful notification by email, right to a prior hearing, non-compliance with prior annulment decisions
  • Subsequent applications: new and substantial evidence thresholds; non-refoulement considerations where readmission is de facto impossible
