AAH15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 104

AAH15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 104

The Tribunal did not commit jurisdictional error as it considered the appellant's claims individually and cumulatively, including the claim of imputation of pro-LTTE views due to familial links, the credibility of the brother's alleged detention, the classification and cumulative assessment of the appellant's social group, and the potential for intentional harm in detention under complementary protection. The Tribunal's reasoning was logical, based on evidence, and consistent with legal principles; no procedural unfairness was found, and appeal grounds raised no error by the primary judge.
