ASO17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 1141

The Authority’s reasons subsumed the applicant’s claims about the Vanni region within broader findings about the Northern Province, and the Practice Direction limiting submissions did not result in procedural unfairness. No jurisdictional error was established and leave to raise new grounds was refused, so the appeal was dismissed.
