AVR15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 737

The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to identify any jurisdictional error by the Federal Circuit Court judge. The Tribunal had properly complied with its obligations under the Migration Act and Ministerial Direction 56, and its factual findings did not disclose legal error. Temporary detention and jail conditions in Sri Lanka do not amount to significant harm constituting grounds for complementary protection.
