AKA16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1439

The appeal was dismissed because the primary Judge made no error in concluding that the Authority's decision disclosed no jurisdictional error. Ground 1(i) merely re-stated the appellant's claim rather than identifying an erroneous finding; the Authority did not apply a mathematical assessment or misunderstand the real chance test; the remaining grounds sought impermissible merits review; and the Authority's treatment of the email about the appellant's fiancée was open to it and did not reveal jurisdictional error.
