AYV16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 696

AYV16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 696

Leave to rely on the fresh grounds of appeal was refused because the proposed grounds had insufficient prospects of success: the Tribunal had evidence before it; the complaints about persecution and country conditions merely challenged factual findings and sought impermissible merits review; the asserted procedural fairness ground identified disagreement rather than jurisdictional error; and the alleged procedural non-compliance was not particularised. Granting leave would also risk the Federal Court exercising original rather than appellate jurisdiction. The appeal was therefore dismissed with costs.

Procedural Posture

Migration Appeal From Dismissal of Judicial Review Application Concerning Refusal of a Protection Visa / Appeal to the Federal Court of Australia From the Federal Circuit Court of Australia

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the appellant should be granted leave to rely on grounds of appeal not argued before the Federal Circuit Court.' 'Whether the proposed grounds of appeal identified jurisdictional error by the Tribunal or appealable error by the Federal Circuit Court.' "Whether the Tribunal's mistaken view about the class of protection visa was a material error." "Whether the appellant's complaints impermissibly sought merits review of the Tribunal's factual findings."]

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to rely on the fresh grounds of appeal was refused because the proposed grounds had insufficient prospects of success: the Tribunal had evidence before it; the complaints about persecution and country conditions merely challenged factual findings and sought impermissible merits review; the asserted procedural fairness ground identified disagreement rather than jurisdictional error; and the alleged procedural non-compliance was not particularised. Granting leave would also risk the Federal Court exercising original rather than appellate jurisdiction. The appeal was therefore dismissed with costs.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed with costs.
