AYR17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1478

AYR17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2017] FCA 1478

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant did not establish any error in the primary judge's refusal to reinstate the proceeding: he provided no satisfactory explanation for his non-attendance, and his proposed grounds were without merit because the listing notice had been sent to his residential address and the remaining complaints impermissibly sought merits review of credibility and factual findings that were open to the Tribunal on the evidence and reasons it gave.

Procedural Posture

Migration Application for Leave to Appeal / Application for Leave to Appeal From Federal Circuit Court Orders Dismissing an Application to Reinstate an Application for Review of an Administrative Appeals Tribunal Decision

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether leave should be granted to appeal from the primary judge's dismissal of the reinstatement application" 'Whether the applicant gave a sufficient explanation for non-attendance before the Federal Circuit Court' 'Whether the proposed appeal had an arguable case' 'Whether the Tribunal failed to notify the applicant of the hearing or listing' "Whether the Tribunal's adverse credibility findings and rejection of the applicant's evidence disclosed jurisdictional error or unfairness" 'Whether the Tribunal failed to examine the risk of serious persecution in Malaysia']

Ratio Decidendi
