Kaur v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 507

The appeal fails because, even accepting that the appellants were not the authors of the false documents, the finding that those documents were bogus sufficed for non-compliance with PIC 4020, and there was no jurisdictional error or procedural unfairness in the Tribunal's process or consideration of waivers.
