ANA17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 554

The appellant did not make a claim before the delegate or the IAA to be a member of the same family unit as his father in the statutory sense required. The IAA considered and rejected the appellant's claims to fear harm in Sri Lanka based on the evidence presented. There was thus no jurisdictional error by the IAA or the Federal Circuit Court requiring the appeal to be allowed.
