they were offered, and would have accepted, a tenancy of a home in the same area made by the local authority for the area to them. Their lives would not have been disrupted but for their concerns about the consequences of disclosure. 28 In their case the effects have been serious. At a time when they had not been recognised as refugees TLT and TLU feared genuinely for their own safety if returned to Iran like their son. They genuinely believed that their security while in the United Kingdom was compromised so that they had to move from an area where they had established shallow roots to an area where they had none. In addition, they had genuine and not irrational fears for the safety of their relatives, including their son, in Iran, vividly brought to life by A’s reports of what had happened to the above mentioned family member. To describe the totality of their experiences as "distress" is a misstatement and an understatement, and I use the word only because it is the label under which damages are assessed in cases of this type. 29 In the cases of TLT and TLU, their circumstances and the "distress" which they have experienced, are comparable and should result in an identical award. I assess damages in each of their cases at £12,500. This is not out of kilter with awards for moderate psychiatric and psychological damage. 30 The case of TLV is different. She was protected by her youth and by the care which her parents took to shield her from knowledge of what was happening. Nevertheless she too experienced genuine concern, in particular about her family in Iran, and did have her schooling and friendships disrupted. In her case I assess damages at £2,500. 31 The cases of PNA, PNB and PNC have one regrettable common feature. Their witness statements have been drafted in terms virtually identical to those of TLT and TLU about the impact on them of the delay in disclosure of the same documents by the Home Office, and their concern about what they revealed about the nature and extent of further possible dissemination of the posted information. When questioned about these passages they had little, if any, understanding of what they conveyed. For example, they did not know what was meant by an "IP", internal protocol address, even though they were purportedly expressing concerns about the searches which may have been carried out by the user of the address. This part of their evidence is worthless and I discount it entirely. I do not, however, on that account discount the remainder of their evidence which requires an individual assessment. 32 PNA is a Pakistani citizen. She entered into an arranged marriage in Pakistan to a Pakistani man in May 2009. He came to the United Kingdom on a student visa and she joined him in January 2011. They had a son, born in October BEVERLEY F. NUNNERY & CO. OFFICIAL COURT REPORTERS AND AUDIO TRANSCRIBERS
