Reasons

(1) The Claimant is an asylum seeker. He also claims to be a victim of trafficking. There is a risk that naming the Claimant might increase any risk he might face if returned to his country of origin and/or any risk from traffickers. There are accordingly compelling reasons for the limited derogations from the principle of open justice in paragraph 1
