(2)    �had unduly focussed on peripheral and circumstantial matters without conducting a full and rigorous investigation;

(3)    the evidence relied on was wholly circumstantial and was not sufficiently strong bearing in mind the serious and severe consequences for the applicant;

(4)    took into account irrelevant matters with undue focus on discrepancies which were not directly germane;
