AJP18 v Minister For Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2020] FCA 1793

The allegation of unfairness was unparticularised and the primary judge's reasons disclosed no jurisdictional error; effective protection under the Migration Act does not require a guarantee of protection; the alleged judicial error was unspecified and incomprehensible; and the allegations that the Tribunal used incorrect information or was biased were unsupported by particulars or submissions.
