AGI15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Patrol [2018] FCA 232

AGI15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Patrol [2018] FCA 232

The progressive depigmentation claim was not advanced in the Appellant's visa application, submissions, or Tribunal hearing, and it did not clearly arise from the material before the Tribunal. The Tribunal was therefore not obliged to consider that case, and the Federal Circuit Court did not err in concluding that the Tribunal had considered the integers of the claim actually advanced. The appeal was dismissed.
