AYE16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 108

AYE16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 108

The grounds of appeal do not assert any jurisdictional error, and none is apparent from the record; the applicant seeks merits review, which is not the function of the Court, and the Tribunal’s credibility findings and consideration of claims were open to it on the evidence. The failure to disclose the s 438 certificate was not a jurisdictional error as the relevant documents were not material to the Tribunal's decision.

Ratio Decidendi
