ABG17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1203

ABG17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1203

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant advanced only bare, unparticularised assertions of error and did not identify any basis, by reference to his own circumstances, for finding appealable error by the Federal Circuit Court or jurisdictional error by the Immigration Assessment Authority. The Court's review of the IAA and FCC reasons disclosed no arguable error; the IAA discharged its Pt VIIAA function, applied the relevant s 36 criteria, considered the appellant's protection claims, and gave reasons with an intelligible and rational basis.
