ARP15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 1220

ARP15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 1220

The appeal failed because the Tribunal had considered s 91R of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), its decision was not legally unreasonable, and its rejection of the protection claims was based on adverse findings about the parents' credibility and reliability that were open on the material. No specific legal or factual error amounting to jurisdictional error was identified in the Tribunal's decision or in the Federal Circuit Court's dismissal of the judicial review application.
