EBQ17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 1183

EBQ17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 1183

Although the applicant provided an adequate explanation for delay and was granted an extension of time to appeal, the Tribunal's findings of non-credibility were not legally unreasonable or unsupported by the evidence. The FCCA committed no error. The appeal was therefore dismissed and the applicant ordered to pay the first respondent's costs.
