Kaur v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 777

Kaur v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 777

The appeal was dismissed because the appellants failed to establish any error of law or jurisdictional error in the primary judge’s decision, and the grounds of appeal sought to challenge the merits of the Tribunal’s decision, which is not open on judicial review. The Tribunal’s finding that the skills assessment was a bogus document and that PIC 4020 was not met was reasonably open on the evidence.
