AGM18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1951

AGM18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1951

The claim advanced on appeal—that the Authority failed to consider the risk of renewed marriage proposals and threat of harm upon the appellant's return—did not arise tolerably clearly or squarely from the material before the Authority. In any event, the Authority made express and dispositive findings that the cousins no longer maintained any interest in the appellant, which subsumed the claim. Therefore, no jurisdictional error occurred.
