AQN17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1822

AQN17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1822

The Tribunal did consider the consequences of the Appellant's return to India and found that the harassment from his former father-in-law had ceased and, in any event, any feared harm from the ex-wife's family would not be persecution for a Convention reason. The Federal Circuit Court was correct to reach the same conclusion, so the asserted ground of appeal failed.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the Federal Circuit Court erred in dismissing the application challenging the Tribunal's decision to affirm refusal of a Protection (Class XA) visa."
