AFC15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1011

AFC15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1011

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant did not show a reasonably arguable case of error by the Federal Circuit Court Judge. The grounds advanced challenged the merits of the Tribunal's protection visa decision rather than identifying reviewable error by the Federal Circuit Court or jurisdictional error by the Tribunal, and the Tribunal's reasons showed consideration of the applicant's personal circumstances, the applicable protection visa criteria, credibility, and the claimed violence in Nepal.
