ADK17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1376

The appeal was dismissed because the Tribunal had provided the appellant with a proper opportunity to participate in the hearing, as required by s 425 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), and the Tribunal's adverse findings on credibility and lack of persecution risk were untainted by jurisdictional error. The trial judge's decision to dismiss the original application contained no legal error.
