AYL15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 894

AYL15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 894

Failure to inform the appellant of the existence of the notification under s 438(2) did not result in a loss of opportunity or deprive the appellant of the possibility of a successful outcome, since the Tribunal considered the relevant claims and the undisclosed documents were not material to the appellant's case. Thus, no jurisdictional error was demonstrated and the appeal was dismissed.
