CTK17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2020] FCA 1211

The appeal was dismissed because it was plausible and reasonable that the Tribunal, having comprehensively rejected the First Appellant’s evidence on credit, did not find Mr Assaf’s statutory declaration material to its findings; the applicants did not discharge their burden to prove that the Tribunal failed to consider the statutory declaration, and thus no jurisdictional error was established.
