CTU15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1445

CTU15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1445

There was no jurisdictional error because the claimed mark on the first appellant's leg did not establish how it was acquired, the Tribunal made comprehensive findings rejecting the appellants' credibility, and consideration of the mark could not conceivably have affected the Tribunal's decision. The other alleged failures identified before the Federal Circuit Court did not disclose error.

Procedural Posture

Appeal From the Federal Circuit Court Dismissing an Application for Judicial Review of an Administrative Appeals Tribunal Decision Affirming Refusal of Protection (class Xa) Visas / Appeal to the Federal Court

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Federal Circuit Court erred by failing to find that the Tribunal made a jurisdictional error by failing to consider or make findings on four matters relied on by the appellants' "Whether the Tribunal's failure to make a specific finding about the first appellant's claimed leg injury was a jurisdictional error" "Whether consideration of the mark on the first appellant's leg could have affected the Tribunal's credibility findings or decision"]

The other alleged failures identified before the Federal Circuit Court did not disclose error.

Court Disposition
