Kumra v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 778

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not establish any error in the Federal Circuit Court's decision. The Tribunal reasonably concluded on the available evidence (and absence of response or contrary evidence from the appellant) that the skills assessment was a bogus document and that the requirements of Public Interest Criterion 4020 were not met. The Federal Circuit Court made no legal or procedural error in upholding the Tribunal's decision.
