AJW16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1389

AJW16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1389

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant did not identify any appellable error by the Federal Circuit Court or any jurisdictional error by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The proposed grounds were unparticularised, concerned merits and credibility findings, or sought to raise new matters without a proper basis. A careful reading of the Tribunal's reasons disclosed no jurisdictional error, and there was no basis to permit a new case on appeal.
