AAQ18 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2020] FCA 759

The Court found the IAA’s reasoning did not reflect jurisdictional error. The IAA adequately considered whether the new information was credible personal information and whether exceptional circumstances existed in accordance with s 473DD of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), including express findings and consideration of the Jegasothy letter. The primary judge was correct to dismiss the review application.
