BCD17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 1158

BCD17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 1158

Leave to raise new grounds was refused as the proposed grounds on appeal had no merit: the Authority's approach to the evidence and statutory requirements was not legally unreasonable or lacking in evidence, and there was no procedural fairness breach identified in relation to the handling of the data breach or other matters. The appeal was therefore dismissed and the appellant ordered to pay costs.
