AOY15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 1348

AOY15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 1348

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant's complaints concerned factual findings and the merits of his complementary protection claim. The RRT did not misunderstand or fail to apply the relevant provisions of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), and there was no reason to think it failed to consider any relevant aspect of the appellant's claims. No jurisdictional error was established, and the Federal Circuit Court was correct to dismiss the application for judicial review.
