ARY15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1211
The Tribunal fully considered the complementary protection obligations owed to the appellant and found no substantial grounds to believe he would suffer significant harm if removed to Sri Lanka. Failure to call the appellant's cousin as a witness was not a jurisdictional error as it would not have affected the substantive reasons for refusing the protection visa.
