ADA15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 634

ADA15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 634

The grounds of appeal, which essentially challenged the merits of the Tribunal's factual findings and credibility determinations, raise no legal error or jurisdictional issue. The Tribunal complied with its obligations under ss 424A and 424AA of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), and no procedural flaw was demonstrated. The appeal must therefore be dismissed.
