AYT15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1444

AYT15 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1444

The appeal was dismissed because the Tribunal clearly addressed the appellant's claims and expressly considered them individually and cumulatively, the primary judge was correct to find no jurisdictional error, the new illogicality or irrationality ground was unsupported by particulars and the Tribunal's conclusions were open on the material, and leave was refused for the new freedom of worship ground because it had not been advanced before the Tribunal and the appeal was not a merits review or occasion for new claims.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the primary judge erred in holding that the Tribunal assessed the appellant's claims cumulatively as a Tamil Muslim, a person associated with the LTTE, and a candidate of the SLMC political party" "Whether the Tribunal's assessment and rejection of the appellant's claims was illogical or irrational so as to involve jurisdictional error" 'Whether leave should be granted to advance a new ground that the Tribunal failed to assess whether the appellant would be deprived of freedom to worship because mosques have been destroyed in Sri Lanka']
